If you don't have experience with parrots, I would advise you not to get a semi-feral bird unless you're willing to go to bird seminars to find out how to do it properly. It's just difficult and hurts your feelings when you think everything is going alright and then they bite.
I think a good bird for you would be a already adult bird that's temperament is already well adjusted.

Thank you, CaptMicha...I am going to think long and hard before I take a 'tiel or Perry home with me...and I am also going to spend a lot of time with them before I make the decision.
That's a fantastic idea. But just remember birds will usually go a 360 at sexual maturity and seem almost feral and then you have to work them out of that.
I want to get an adult parrot for my next parrot. One already trained

ADOPT!
here's my latest adoptee, Marley
Just what I was planning to do! I've dealt with baby birds, so I had that experience already so I'm just fine with an adult bird. You don't get babies in rescues.
Congrats on your 2! I hope the plucking lets up. My lovebird used to do that but stopped all of a sudden but she has a gray downy chest now because the top feathers never grew back.
i certainly know what you mean about the baby birds..fine for a few years..then BAM...you lose a finger...LOL..hormonal birds are the work of satan!..im glad marley is 15 and past that stage..phew.
as for the plucking, he stopped about 9 months ago, when he was with his former owner, he left the too' with his parents who never gave him any attention, so he plucked.
his feathers are growing back nicely, vet says the feather folicles in his chest are permanantly damaged, but all the feathers around the bald area are new and growing in, as well as his tail feathers.
anyone considering a parrot should contact local rescues, intead of supporting bird mills who mass produce these birds, who are sold to people who cant take the noise, or can't dedicate enough time for these birds, so they end up plucking of mutilating..and passing from one home to another..very sad..
hope you find yourself the parrot you are looking for!, good luck!
