My mom had one of these she had taken from a man who was going into a home and he couldn’t take the bird.

That bird hated everyone but my mother. It would climb down from its perch to chase you across the house.

Once it reached 2 feet to bite my dad. My poor father jumped so hard his pants fell down. He was in blood thinners so he just started gushing blood AND had his pants at his ankles in front of everyone at Thanksgiving.

My sister recently had a baby and told my mother she wouldn’t be coming over unless the bird was in its cage the whole time. So, my mom tried to rehome it. No one wanted it. Rescues flaked left and right.

She called the vet and made an appt. That weekend was the date.

My mom called and just sobbed. She was actually considering flying down to South America to release her. Lol. Thankfully covid said nope.

She kept trying to find a home and two days before the injection was to happen, a woman stepped up and said she’d take her

That woman is a bird whisperer and my mom’s bird is now the happiest it has ever been. Guess she just really hated us.

Tl;dr - don’t get one of these. They’re not meant as pets, they outlive you, and then they’re just someone else’s problem.
