I was thinking of getting one for my little one , how much of care taking does it involve to have them as pets ? is it recommended to get them in pairs ?
It is always a good idea to get them in pairs. Because of they are very intelligent birds they get bored very fast - and bored parrots can be very loud. This is also a good point to pay attention: These parrots can scream very loud, so your neighbourhood has to be broadly-minded :)
These are my to parrots Candy (the red one, female) and Keks (the green one, male).
They are eclectus parrots (the race is called "Eclectus roratus".

I was thinking of keeping them for few months and them set them free , will that work out you think ? or would they be not fit for the wild ?
ofcourse , in your opinion/experience .
I don't think that parrots (or animals in general), once domesticated can survive in the nature.
hmmm...that was my suspicion as well..need to rethink the whole thing.
Tks for your responses..see you around.
