That is a blue and gold macaw. They can easily live to be 50 years old. Are one of the noisier (louder) parrots. I've seen them for anywhere from $1000 upwards. Might check a parrot rescue for one that someone wants to give up.
I have a Timneh African Grey.. much smaller.. and relatively quiet but extremely smart. Her name is Kara... she calls my boys by name using my voice. She calls the cats "here kitty kitty", sings several songs, knows the first half of the alphabet song, the microwave beep, tons of whistles (among them the Ed, Ed and Eddie theme), and tons more.
