Marty,

thats so sad, I've always wanted a parrot but didn't think I had the time to devote and train and take care of them. I'm a a former dog obeidiance trainer as well as a short stint in conformation showing. I still have them all, we had 9 when we stopped showing, and took care of them and watched as they aged and passed on. As we travel and we see people that have parrots, makes me want to get one. But I see that all pets are a large responsiblity, and like in any area, even in our own health care one must be carefull.

If they tell you it won't work over satellite, they didn't try hard enough!
