As a kid, I wanted to have a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Hill_Myna

Some species of parrots (for example, cockatoos) are very loud and owners often struggle to find somewhere to live where the noise will be tolerated.
Living in an apartment is definitely a mistake and keeping parrots requires permission by a landlord.
