Petco parrot's are often unfriendly and aggressive, since they have likely been competing for space with other parrots for a very long time. PLEASE do not buy from them. I only get my supplies there, never my pets. Like sara said, go through a breeder, or even a specialty pet shop. So many parrot species can live incredibly long lives if properly cared for. My grandmother had one when she was younger that has now lived for 22 years, because he came from a breeder and has had proper care and low stress his entire life

Petco is NOT the best place... Find an actual breeder for a parrot. They will guide you on how to raise the bird, help with training, and so on... It can live for any decades depending on what species you get and how you care for it....
