This is hisser. He's very intelligent he talks he sings and sometimes dances. He knows Zelda and if you're happy and you know it. He is very talkative. He would be a great companion with someone who can give him lots of attention. I can't give him the attention I used to since I went off to school. He is about 2 years old. I'm unsure if he could be kept with another bird but he did well with my parakeets in an open space. He doesn't care for fingers but will step up if he doesn't see your fingers.
