OMG - a maxi pi??? That is the bird I want (when I can evenutally afford to give one the proper care). Nobody I know has one and very few people I know have ever even heard of them. They are so cute!!! Previously I always wanted an African grey because I worked with a great one at the zoo and she was smart and sweet and wonderful... but I do my research before getting ANY pet and I found a Maximillian pionus parrot would be a better house pet for me. Tell me all about yours!!! I'm dying to hear first hand (and not just out of some book) just what kind of pets they make!!!
