anyone have a tropical bird as a pet like a parrot or macaw?
I've been thinking about it. How are they as pets?

An Amazon double-yellow head parrot named Lolita was given to my grandmother to keep her company in her old age, back in 1964.
Lolita bit her and drew blood. Lolita was sent home with us, because she liked my sister.
She's always bitten old ladies and men, but loves girls with long hair. Turns out, our Lolita was really a Louie...somebody missexed the bird along the way.
Parrots and macaws have very individual and distinct personalities and strong likes and dislikes.
If you decide to get one, make sure it likes you first. They tend to bond with one person.
Lolita...er...Louie has been cared for by a succession long-haired women, from my sister, to my daughters and now my wife.
Damn bird tries to bite me no matter what I do and I've been feeding it, cleaning its cage and bathing it for over 40 years.
