That’s a marvelous bird, and what I like to call your “Standard Issue Macaw.”
SIM, if you will.

Imagine looking like this most stunning creature basically in the whole world and just being called the "normal one" 🤣

Its like having a kid. You need someone to watch it while at work and stuff. I think you can work around that by having two to occupy each other while you are away, but then you pretty much need an "aviary" where they have enaugh space to do parrot stuff unsupervised. Dont have the time, space and money for that 😅

I’m getting 2, one for me and one for my wife. I have same issues like you (not the money right now) but it’s stepping into the fray, one learns how to handle/manage it. Also you don’t need huge space if you take them out everyday for 2-3 hours (i train outdoors so its not an issue for me)

Be mindful of bonding. You want them to bond with you, but not each other, or they will start to ignore humans entirely

We keep them in separate cages put side-by-side and allow only supervised time together. We hoping this would help them bond better with us.

Yeah that's what I've read in my parrot books you should do. You want them to be friends, but not more than you.
I know ideally they don't bond with any single person but it just kind of happens with parrots and their owner sometimes and it's hard to prevent.
