:thumbsup: GlassOnion.
My wife really wanted a cockatoo, so I did tons of research. Those guys look like an alien or something dredged up from the ocean to me.
But hey, so do I.

I already have the Grey that a lot of you covet :3
Both my birds are the quiet, shy and snuggly types of parrot species so if I were to get another I'd want something different.

I'd love a cockatoo or one of the macaws, something a bit more extroverted and vivacious.

Hahahaha, alien dredged up from the sea.. :lol:

Now to be more realistic for down the road, TAG, Jardine's, or a Cape. Maybe... an eclectus.

Except for a partner for my Meyers (if not another Meyers, then a red-bellied or brown-headed, or PERHAPS a caique, but I think that's too "far away"), I have lots of dream birds. Few I can keep now, though.

My current dream bird is the Scarlet macaw. I would love to have a pair in a big cage (the minimum requirements here in Sweden is 12x6x6' for one or two macaws, so we're talking big here), but I'm a little afraid of the noise (not for myself, but apartment-living...), and of course, the fact that big parrots are not that easy to keep.
Traveling for instance. I almost never travel, but if I have to get away, while I can bring small birds such as Meyers parrots with me, large cockatoos or macaws are not so simple. Then finding a bird-watcher that's not afraid of them. :?

Anyway, I only rescue/get second-hand birds, and Scarlets are so rare here, so I probably don't need to worry. ;)
