I found mine very noisy, destructive, could not get enough attention or be entertained enough. And I hand raised it. If you're going to get one as a first bird, go spend time with one. They are not like an older cocky. They can be extremely hard to please, no matter what time you have to spend with one. They scream, and destroy everything they can get their beaks around.
From my experience, I wouldn't recommend them as a first bird. But, if you are going to get one, find one that you can spend some time with first, and I don't mean 5 mins of cuddling, I mean the hours of screaming and eating the furniture, before you decide to purchase your life long, ADHD 2yo companion.
