I have had Velcro since he was a baby and I hand fed him, he is 13 years old. He talks on his own terms and says things like Good Morning, is it good, want some? Are you hungry, hello... .He does pull some of his mature feathers but he has done this since he was a chick and I hadn't been able to stop this behavior. He is friendly towards me and I can handle him without him biting, basically he has bonded with me. but he doesn't trust others to step up for them. He comes with his cage which is approximately 2x2x 5'. Please no lowballers, if you can't afford him how will you be able to feed or take good care of him.
