    My Dad rescued a sun conure from a dentist's office in town that had an aviary that was being torn down. He was a known bird person so everyone called him first to rehome. We brought her home and learned that she had no interaction apart from feeding for 23 years, but we let her out and she flew around our house to explore with no trouble. She sat on the side of our bowls that night to share dinner and managed to sleep in bed with my dad. She was always very welcoming to new people and would fly down and greet them most of the time. The fact that she didn't have interaction for so long made it so surprising but she turned out to be a really perfect bird. Lived to be 29

    I have an African grey. He will be with us for 2 years on May 4th. His worst sound is the smoke detector. It's his "I'm nervous" sound. My favorite thing he does is a fart or burp sound followed by hysterical laughter. I love my grey. He talks a lot and it's a huge mix of wild bird calls, digital sounds, and a few words and song bits. He whistles a lot too. He is not overly social with being held but he loves to say hello to kids, dog walkers, and the neighbors when he's outside.

      I am the owner of initially a Quaker Parakeet since last September 2020;
      However , I love both the SunConure and the African Greys..
      When I was looking for a parrot to bring home, I was really thinking I was going to get a Sun Conure , but because I live in an apartment with neighbors above , on the sides and behind me, I was advised that getting Sun Conure would most likely not be a good idea , since their volume levels can get pretty high and may cause my neighbors to start complaining about the noise my bird is making ..
      As for going with an African Grey instead, ( which is my Dream Parrot ) I had to unfortunately for go because , Well the price for that particular breed of parrot is quite a bit out of my price range đŸ„Č...
      So I ended up going with my Quaker “Luna”...
      I love her to pieces, but find that she is just a loud as a Sun Conure at times with her screeching...
      Fortunately my neighbors haven’t complained so far & so good 😊
      So I am thinking now that maybe just maybe I could’ve gotten a Sun Conure like I I initially wanted to go with ...
      Oh well, it what is, and either way I will would love to have either a Sun Conure or an African Grey hopefully in the future..

    Until a year ago, I had both a Sun Conure and an African Grey. Pete, my Sun Conure passed in the night at age 20. :(
    While I would agree with everything you have said, I will add that the Greys CAN be quieter--until they begin imitating the Conures! More than once, Riley, my Grey could be heard 'doing' Pete's screech, and then saying, "Pete, Shush". Pete however was sitting next to me, silently. lol.
    When I came home at night, Pete would hear and recognize the sound of my car, get excited, and start up his squawk. How I miss that greeting now.

    I find that greys, at least mine, is really shy and doesn't talk when there are strangers in the house. But when there is something going on in the kitchen like I'm putting the dishes in the dishwasher, she starts to talk A LOT. Greys are also easy to train to talk. Whenever I come home, too, my Grey always does this ear piercing screech and rings her bells

Citing guiness is not an acceptable source of information in any serious context. You could publicly break a record tomorrow and they would not change their records until you paid them several tens of thousands of dollars. It’s a scam. They even let proven cheats keep their records simply because the cheaters paid them and the true record holders didn’t.

I think it took like days to potty train my cockatoo. When she had to poop, she ran or flew back to her cage pooped and resumed playing, hanging out, cuddling, or whatever she was doing at the time. Mine and others remind me of a toddler or small child they get this look run to the bathroom and then return like nothing happened. Again, it NOT hard to teach or train a bird to be potty trained. And if I remember right, Jamie (BirdTricks) has a video on it as well as others. I used to know a guy that had an Amazon that went everywhere with him. Most of the time on his shoulder(s), And the guy's back was completely covered in bird poop. Now that was gross.

      I have a Catalina Macaw and African Gray and my Catalina Macaw is a total velcro bird. My African Gray likes to have me near her but doesn’t show the same level stress when I get ready to leave for work in the morning. Macaws can also make extremely loud contact calls, much louder than anything an African Gray can produce. In my experience African Grays are more independent and just love to be in your presence while the Catalina Macaw wants to be with me all the time. I try to split my time up pretty evenly between my three birds but my macaw is a lot more demanding of my time.

    Do your RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH before purchasing ANY bird. We had great experiences with parakeets and then two cockatiels. After the cockatiel died, we decided on a conure. The noise level was overwhelming. I hand fed the conure, but he decided that my father was HIS person. He was great company for my father who was in his 80’s. When my father passed away, we couldn’t get near the bird without ending up bloody. Wish we had the benefit of your videos at that time. We ended up surrendering the bird to a shelter out of ignorance of what to do.

    I have an African gray. I love that he is so social (nosy, friendly, interested, doing activities together, talking/making noises to make contact and if he wants something etc.). He's so calm/mellow, mainly. He can be a little needy sometimes. And he will be frustrated if he wants something and it takes to long or he doesn't get it. He's also a real dust machine, with ultra fine 'talcum' powder. An air purifier with a good HEPA -filter is no luxury haha. Yes, I'm very happy I choose an African gray, It just fits! The connection is strong between us, he's more than just a pet. Laico flies fine. True, he is not an elegant flyer. Maybe it's because of the wingspan and strong muscle structure (no belly fat)?

      parrots, true, but in the wild in Australia, the Channel bill cuckoos make a flock of 100 cockies seem like quiet little mice. Equally, try a whole street of trees FILLED with rainbow lorikeets in breeding season, where they decide to stay up half the night & so midnight there is noise so loud you can't have a conversation with another person unless you're at least 100 metres or so away from the closest tree - and the trees full of them will stretch for a good 50-100 metres, so there's an area of 200-300 metres, where it's impossible to even hear a human conversation & basically it just sounds like a rock concert next to the speakers in volume & continues without interruption for hours & hours (actually I have no idea how long for, no-one in their right mind would stay anywhere near it when it's in progress, would literally go deaf if you tried!)

    I have an TAG and had a Senegal Parrot and would say that the TAG is much much more hormonal, much more of a 1 person bird, more fearful of new things, and much less of an acrobatic clown compared to the Senegal. No comparison however to the ability of Greys to mimic voices and sounds. And smart as heck - when our dog would approach our TAGs cage, she would yell “crate” in my voice and the dog, who was crate trained, would race to her crate and wait inside. My Grey would then give off a maniacal laugh!

    I unfortunately can’t find a place to get a rescue so I decided on a very good breeder that lives near me, I get to pick out my baby to bond with them. I am getting a flight cage, with tons of toys and natural perches, stainless steal Bowles, and I will switch him/over to some pellets and veggies etc (I really want to get your natural feeding system)
    I have one teil with basically all of that, he gets lots of out time, I respect him body, he is target trained, clicker trained, we are improving him flight skills because he was clipped before I got him (not my decision, I am letting his wings grow back) he knows how to spin, crate trained, wave, scatboard and he can pick up a ball put it in the shopping cart and push it.

My Timneh is shy with new people, but easily won over with time and treats. He only screams when something is genuinely wrong or the vacuum is near. Mostly, he loves to talk, mimic noises ranging from cute to annoying, sing random song lyrics, and get you to whistle for him.
