Hey caspercanuk, Vancouver, bc, Canada
I got my first cichlid last month. (Not saying much, I just got my first feeder fish last winter. I am now up to a 100 usg and 5 tanks.

) I never wanted them. Not a live food person. I like mine deboned, defatted, grilled rare, no salt.
But I got a cockatoo pair last month. The gent now has his Lady and two little girls. I am enamoured.
I can see the attraction to cichlids, although no violent activity for me.
So welcome caspercanuk!!!
Which group are parrots: African?
