Do you own a parrot?  I'm thinking about getting one.
I do not.  I have always found them interesting, but they seem like a lot of work.
I love their vivid colors.  I have heard they are a lot of work.  
Don't they have a very long lifespan too?  It really seems like a huge committment.
They do live a long time.  Feeding is easy as their diets consist of seeds, nuts, fruit, buds, and other plants.  
That doesn't sound too bad.  Can parrott's speak?
They do speak I believe, but not all of them.  They vary in size (in terms of length) but I'm thinking the smaller the better.
Would you want a bird that speaks, or one that doesn't?
I'm not opposed to one that speaks.  Either way would be ok for me.  It's a big decision since there are so many species (393) and genera (92), how can I decide?
