I'm not sure. I don't really want a bird, but I don't know what else to do with it. And he's pretty nice, though a little grumpy at bedtime. I can already tell when he wants to go to sleep (he sits in a certain corner of his cage and tucks his right foot up into his belly). And he doesn't like Leisy too much, and will respond to my whistles if I'm not in the room. And he lets me pet his head. But I don't really want a bird. And Alex hates birds. So I'm not sure.
