Shalom Benny. So if I love insanity I should take the turn?
haha - That's what I told my husband. I said ducks, and turkey's okay... but peafowls? I hear they are obnoxious. LOL
I normally don't advocate for parrots because of their longevity. They get extremely attached to a person who they look on as their life mate. If they get mad for some reason, like if their human mate moves away for any length of time, they'll hate that person forever. I said small parrot because their bite isn't as severe and they don't live as long.
I worked with larger parrots, primarily scarlet and great green macaws but also hyacinths and eclectus. IMO, people shouldn't own them
Most of our birds were rescued from homes, hotels, makeshift zoos, etc.. A large macaw can live 100 years. That means that they outlive their original owner and likely their owner's kids. That makes them crazy. We had about 300 of each.
A Hyacinth has one of the strongest bites. We had a Scarlet that had stuck its beak in an adjacent Hyacinth's cage. It bit the top beak off the Scarlet. The Scarlet's mate had to feed it the rest of its life.

You would just have to teach her to be carful with them if you did decide to let her get a bird like that. My cousins girlfriend has one she has a small cage and it is nippy with people it don't know, and It flys around the house and will set on your shoulder.
Yom Tov Bennie.
? My buddy?
