I'm not a fan of parrots, something about them I don't like.
How big do they get and why do you feel about them the way you do?
Parrots get about 6-8 inches full grown. Some people keep them in groups but they tend to have individual personalities. Some can be very mild some can be much more "pushy". But since their mouths dont fully close they cant really nip or bite but they will eat things small enough to fit in their mouths.
They need a lot of caves and love to dig.
They are hybrids, not genetically modified like glofish. They are a cossbreed between some sorts of cichlids. Controversy arose with these because some are died like the blue ones and the dye fades. I do not agree with this at all. Some countries have even "tattooed" them which I think is also horrible.
The natural ones are red though juveniles dont have as much color... They develope color as they grow.
To put things in perspective... a mule is a cross of a horse and a donkey... and they are sterile.
