Sounds like they would be an interesting pet, similar to love birds.

I'm not so sure about that. My wife had one that used all of his toys for his own personal enjoyment.

I've seen a documentary, maybe two on these guys, and they are some pretty cool birds. they're flightless. and have a really cool call.

how big is it? cause it says that it is the biggest parrot in the world. it is kind of hard to tell from the pictures. is it the size of a chicken ?
it would be cool to have one as a pet

dumdums are not dodos. dodos were cool, dumdums are not.
