I want a bird that is playful,somewhat social (to take with me places), and that will be ok at home if I only spend about two or three hours at night with it. I know birds like to squak, and talk, but I can't have one that is real loud all the time. My boyfriend works graveyard. I just love both types of birds. Cost is not a factor. I am ok with it being a one person bird as long as the bird is not really bad about the other person. Thanks for any input.
