I have a moluccan cockatoo - little over a year old - my fiancee and I spent 6 months learning as to whether we would make good parents since they live over 80 years old and are just like children.

I cant believe that you didnt do any homework in getting a parrot. Even more, that a store employee didnt realize that you are buying it probably to pick up guys than to be a responsible owner of a parrot.

So what kind of parrot did you get?? macaws, conures, lovebirds, amazons, African grey, Ringnecked, caiques, cockatoos, eclectus, lories, parakeets?? What ever it is - better take it back to the store and get your money back, at least for the sake of the bird
