Congos are better talkers as well; perhaps the best. Only Yellow Napes and
Double Yellowheads can compare. I used to care for parrots, but never owned
one. I think that they are among (if not the most) demanding of all pets. To
be truly happy, they require almost constant attention-- in that sense they are
like people. But if you are able to care for one in such a way, there isn't a
more entertaining, beautiful, and rewarding pet. I have never been able to
devote so much time to a pet, and therefore I have limited myself to cats (and
at one time, snakes:-)
Bruce, thanks for the fun story of your little menagerie:-)
