Recently purchased this pair as a gift for my wife but because they lived with an older lady for 21 years, they have gravitated towards my mother in law. They are lovely birds, both named Sid; theres Good Sid and Bad Sid (idk why they were both named Sid and yes both are boys that love each other). I do think an experienced owner would be best and a one female home be best as well. They are great with the kids. They do not care for me but do not attack me. For full transparency, the Bad Sid did fly at my wife and did bite her. But i know that if they were in a one female home they would not hurt anyone. I am going to give their cage, toys, food, etc. to whoever comes for these lovely birds.
