Wasn't sure which thing to post this under, so I thought that I'd take a chance here. My mom has this bird that I can't seem to figure out what it is. I think that it might be a Bourke's Parrot, but I'm not sure. If anyone can help it would be great. Thanks.

You're right a Bourke's parakeet! Australian grass parakeet species. My mom has a rosy (pink) mutation.

How did your mom come to have this bird? What is the story?

It was given to here by a friend in 1998 or 1999. The prior owner had her for at least 5 years. They went to another country to help out and mom has owner it the entire time. According to my mom, this little thing has outlived several others that she had.
Thanks for the help.
