I have had Harley for 2 years and he is amazing!! I'm no expert but I know he is happy when he is with us. If you want your bird to be social try to get a hand fed baby or an older bird. I got Harley from a lady who couldn't look after him anymore. He has free roam of my room (about 250 sq feet) so he can fly around. He loves to come in the shower with us. Make sure your bird is in a dark room or covered at night. They like about 10 hrs of sleep time. In the morning when I open his cage he comes to our bed and runs around....Sorry I could go on and on about him. P/M me if you would like. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...s/32cd124a.jpg
