It varies greatly on the person and type of parrot. Lets go with big parrots. If you're a person who doesn't mind cleaning a cage weekly, changing the bottom daily, preparing fresh fruits and veggies for your pet daily, screaming and yelling, feathers all over, fruits and veggies stuck on walls from cleaning, daily interactions that need to last a few hours, $50.00 or more for toys (you need several of these and big birds can destroy them quite easily), vet bills, and other factors, than big parrots may be the pet for you. If you're experienced, oh, and did I mention the cost of buying a big parrot? $2,000 is probably minimum for a minimum grade bird.

If the parrot is something small, say small conures, budgies, cockatiels, or other birds, than the factors are exactly the same! Except maybe the toys are less expensive.

Parrots are a joy if you've done your research very well and know exactly what to do. I would advise you to read a lot about our wonderful feathered friends. If you're interested in acquiring these birds and literally sharing your life with them (budgies and cockatiels live up to 20 years on average; bigger parrots go up to fifty and more).
