Very careful with drafts. They can kill a parrot really easilly, which I know is weird since you wouldn't think air movement would hurt a bird. As to the cold, it isn't usually an issue. If you do use heat lamps be careful to leave a spot in which your bird can escape from the heat.
Now an important issue: will your bird be able to get attention evey day, several hours a day? Otherwise, get two, or none. I say this not as one of those excessive people who seem to think it's either a 5 star hotel for pets or nothing, but as someone who had to give her parrot away to a breeder because he'd start screaming every time I left the room, which with college, was a lot of time. They are very affectionate, but also very needy creatures,
