If your looking for a talking parot They go for around 2-4K here

1000$ to 1500$

True, Energie is totally out of the picture in Europe :1orglaugh

The age you mention is how old they usually become in the free nature.

When kept caged by people around 30-50 years. We had one all my life, and it died 5 years ago when it was 27, fell from his stick and broke his neck :(

Horrible scream my mom told me (I was away) she said she would never forget that scream :(

You have to be real careful what you say around those birds that talk. They are smart as heck. If you date lots of girls BD I wouldn't recommend it.

holy crap that much theyre 500-600 here

do you live in Slovenia?

I've been living in and out of Italy for 4 years now and I never saw an Energie shirt but as anyone who has lived in Montreal can attest, the Italian comunity is strong so you can probably find that stuff in certain shops. Unless he bought it online :p

That is a blue and gold macaw. They can easily live to be 50 years old. Are one of the noisier (louder) parrots. I've seen them for anywhere from $1000 upwards. Might check a parrot rescue for one that someone wants to give up.

I have a Timneh African Grey.. much smaller.. and relatively quiet but extremely smart. Her name is Kara... she calls my boys by name using my voice. She calls the cats "here kitty kitty", sings several songs, knows the first half of the alphabet song, the microwave beep, tons of whistles (among them the Ed, Ed and Eddie theme), and tons more.

probably alot of fuckin money someof those exotic birs are expensive from what ive seen and heard :thumbsup

I've been owned by two Goffin Cockatoos for the last 20 years! First thing I taught them was potty training. I'm amazed at how smart they can be. My youngest used to like to dig in the dirt with his beak. Now, he's learned how to use a stick to dig with and it's a hoot watching him in the park, looking for "just the right stick."

They can be a bit loud when they need you for something. Again, training can take care of that. They are a total babe magnet when we go out. My older one loves to give "pretty girl kisses." Bum gets more action than I do. LOL

Of all the pets I've ever had, cockatoos are definitely the pet of choice for me. Smart, funny and great company when no one's around. Like living with 2 clowns. However, you have to remember that they acquire a mentality of around a 5-6 year old kid and that's it. Therefore, you'll have a 5 year old "for the rest of your life!" And, they fight over toys, just like kids.

As long as I tell them "It's ok," they'll go to anyone I hand them to.

Having a hookbill as a pet requires work on your part to fashion the bird to your lifestyle. I got neither as chicks so mine don't talk. However, over the past 20 years, I've learned what about 10 or 15 of their "calls" mean. So, communication isn't a problem.

And, by all means, have them "implanted" with an ID chip!!!!!

Doubt you could even make a decent meal outta the thing...

Cool parrot dude! :thumbsup

they cost around 2-3K at places I've looked

I pay $1600 for my amazonian parrot.
