I think if your looking for a parrot your best starting off with a cockertiel, this is what we did and then after a few years got an African Grey. If you do get a cokertiel you would be best looking for a hand reared one because its easier to interact with, ours comes out and sit with you, has bath on a plate he will even go in the shower with my partner, i can clean the house right through with him sat on my shoulder he is excellent company. The only down said is the noise and dust so probly not a good idea for the bedroom even when covered our African Grey made LOTS AND LOTS of noise, our cockertiel isnt too bad he can make a racket when he wants tho
