great bird, great personality very active they chew a lot and will grab for anything they can to destroy or play with. if you live in an apartment your neighbors may not like you very much though so consider that if you do. hahns are loud for a mini and squawk more often besides the dawn/ dusk usual. You can youtube hahns macaw squawks to get a clear idea just incase. besides the loud frequent squawks they are very affectionate and playful. mine has never bitten maybe a nip or two, as someone said you will be warned first, they love you too much to bite but dont push it. they dont seem to like kids, my daughters presence alone makes him go crazy (squawking). kids move too quick and talk too loud for them, you can work at these things however, im just throwing these issues out there for you to consider. other than the noise which im used to by now i wouldnt trade him for anything else.
