If you can find a host for us that has a friendly parrot, we will be
very very glad.  If you can find someone who has a friendly parrot we
can visit with, that will be nice too.
DON'T buy a parrot figuring that it will be a fun surprise for us.  To
acquire a parrot is a major decision: it is likely to outlive you.  If
you don't know how to treat the parrot, it could be emotionally
scarred and spend many decades feeling frightened and unhappy.  If you
buy a captured wild parrot, you will promote a cruel and devastating
practice, and the parrot will be emotionally scarred before you get it.
Meeting that sad animal is not an agreeable surprise.
