If I'm laying down on the couch and the patio door is open he will gather nuts and stuff and bring them to me.

The only problem is he wants constant attention and can break steel bars if he gets really bored.
I think its an parrots character to ask for attention. my kids have 2 little parrot things and both are not in a cage in day time, they can do whatever they want and most of the time, they will hang around the persons here in my house, so that will be me, and yes the price of an hyacinth macaw would be here around the 40000 euro or so, but they are soooo cute
