He's cute!
If he is the 'violet' mutation, he won't be purple purple like lavender or jacaranda is purple. A dark blueish purple. So if you like smurf names, go for it! Mt blue ringneck is called Grover. Turns out, it's a girl but the name has stuck. Hard consonant sounds are easier for birds to say if you hope for him to pick up his name.
And he will definitely take up more time than reptiles. Birds are demanding little critters and noisier than any reptile I can think of. But heaps of fun!
