The virtues of this bird are numerous; it's a good size, it's quiet, said to be affectionate to almost everyone it meets and disinclined to be a one person species, not prone to biting, etc., etc. and yet hardly anyone has them. They aren't that much more expensive than a number of the smaller parrots and are definitely less expensive than a great number of the larger species. So what gives? Is it just accessibility? Does their relative inability to talk steer people clear? Are they considered drab or unattractive birds? I'm definitely curious what everyone has to say.
