First parrot experience

My first adult parrot experience occurred at a friends' cookout. We were all sitting in the driveway and could hear what sounded like a slow child calling "Hello! Come here! I love you!" I figured my friend just had a loud neighbor child (the houses are pretty close together). When I finally entered the house, I saw that it was a blue-fronted amazon making all of that noise! We were instantly captivated and proceeded to do tons of research on these amazing creatures!
