Hi! I am picking up my parrot tomorrow. How should I transport him home? Would he be okay on my shoulder or would that terrify him? He seems to really like my shoulder. I saw this bird and was told he was 2. He is a bit nippy but will let me scratch his head. How old are they when they change the color they will stay--I believe he is a boy--he looks like the pics I have seen. What age do they typically start to talk? He said what sounded like hello and what are you doing. And should I keep the name that he came with--it is Charlie. I wouldn't want to upset him but I would like a more creative name. :0) Thanks for any and all help. Oh, and are there any books or web sites that people found especially helpful? I want him to be happy with us.
