We kept our first raised chick as a pet. He was saying hello before he was even weaned.  At age of six months he was saying "What are you doing" "Hello" when telephone rings, "Pretty pretty pretty bird" and is mumbling several more phrases he has not quiet mastered yet, but is patiently working on every morning for hours at end.

    These birds are a lot like macaws in personality , but at a more affordable price. Another reason they are popular as pets most of them stay  tame even after they are weaned.   Some parrots get a bit nippy after they are weaned and are  not handled enough, but  most blue crowns stay tame. In other species if we have a hand fed baby that we have for several months and do not interact with every day, sometimes they tend to get a little nippy. However each bird has his or her own personality  and this does not always hold true.   We purchased a crippled unwanted pet that had been fed and housed  properly, but never had any interaction with  the family, this bird was not totally tame, but never tried to bite. She is now one of our breeder birds and the proud Mom of our pet Bandito.

    Blue crowns make excellent parents. However ours do tend to get aggressive, when they are mating and rearing young ones. At that time we  do not tend to leave hands and fingers longer in cages  than absolutely necessary.

    Your Blue Crown Conure does  want a lot of attention from you , like most other pet birds, would like to be out of his cage as often as possible and interact with you. They love to take showers and act goofy. They also can take a button of your shirt in about 5 seconds. They need lots of toys to keep them busy during the day and also need some chew toys made out of wood  or leather.

    They are one of the best talkers among smaller parrots and usually bond to all family members, not just one.
