Poicephalus

Poicephalus parrots, although extremely intellegent, are not as mischchivievious or curious like most other parrots. They are good family pets but need to be handled by everyone daily in order for them not to become one person birds. They vary on temperment depending on how they were socialized. They tend to have more phobias. Here is a tip, make changes slowly and make sure you get a properly tamed one. They are very affectionate.
