i purchased chloe from a breeder from maryland without seeing her she was flown here from there and she was very friendly and did step up and step back and re4sponded to no bite when she did bite just like the breeder said she would, but i did talk to her alot on the phone every week until i got her and i still keep in touch with her about her progress, i was worried to about purchasing a bird so far away but i have been very happy with her.
