what kind of parrotlets are they?

 

[twolfe]

Cute! Can you post a photo of the adults?

 

[Bono007]

they are called "parrotlets" and are the funniest little birds i have

 

[Bono007]

they grow to be the size of a parakeet but much more courious, friendler and quiet. Here are some grass parakeets that I have breed in the past.

Are they nicer than lovebirds? I had a bad experience with lovebirds

 

[Bono007]

well it depends some of these are meanier than heck but for the most part if you handle them all the time they will be your best friend and wont bite.

do they sing? My friend taught his parrakeet to sing the star wars intro song

Pacific parrotlets,are like mini amazons. Looks like you have the blue mutation and the regulars.

Thanks for sharing your feathery friends.

I thought Budgerigars were smaller. I will search. They are cute and ugly at the same time.

I have read Yellow Capped Pygmy Parrots are the smallest parrots in the world. Here.

I have read Yellow Capped Pygmy Parrots are the smallest parrots in the world. Here.

The article actually says that the Buff-faced pygmy parrots, Micropsitta pusio, are the smallest.

I also though parrolets were probably the smallest parrots out there....ha! mistery solved
