Exotic birds

Does anyone here have exotic birds? Or not so exotic birds? I've had cockatiels, canaries, and parakeets in the past, but nothing more interesting than that. I had a friend at one time who had an African Grey and, man, that bird was smart! I would love to get one, but they're just so darn expensive.

We have a bared eye cockatoo. It is the loudest and most obnoxious animal i ever owned.

I don't actually own one, but I am acquainted with a beautiful hyacincth macaw that is awesome. If I didn't have dogs, I might just have one of those regal creatures.
