The first thing you need to know about any bird you decide to have as a companion is that even if you do not have to take them outside, such as when you have a dog, that does not mean you do not have to play with them. Birds also love their owner's attention, so you shouldn't neglect to play with them. An important issue is where you will place their cage. You should not put it near a window or a balcony but instead in another place where they can still socialize.
