From the way it sounds you are not going to be the one taking
care of the bird, it will be your sister & mom. Unless they
both are willing to deal with the many problems this bird
apparently has ( plus the great possibility of getting
injured by the bird ) on a daily basis, you'd do well to not
saddle them with that responsibility. It sounds like this
bird not only needs care, but daily training, which you've
msde clear in your post that you can't personally give to
him. You can't expect to teach a bird anything in just a few
days & then be gone for weeks or months at a time & expect
him to remember anything. That would only confuse this poor
bird more. So do him & your a family a favor & let his owner
find him a home with someone who can meet all of his needs on
a consistance basis & hopefully break his biting problem.
When you get out of college & have the time to care for your
own birds 100% of the time then consider getting a larger
bird. But until then you just don't have the time or
knowledge to commit to a bird with obvious behaviour
problems.
