Hi. I was looking around for some information on a bird I received and came across Parrot Forums and what better way to find out more about my bird than joining a forum and interacting with fellow bird lovers.

My name is Dru and I barely started involving myself with birds. I have 2 parakeets at home and as of yesterday, am a larger bird owner. I want to say it's a type of Conure but some opinions I received were that it's either a Cape Parrot or a Painted Budgie. I was given this bird by a friend of a friend because she was moving out of town and could not take him/her with her. But she could not tell me what species the bird is! And now curiosity is a killer...

Any help in identifying this bird would be very much appreciated! Thanks for reading my intro and I hope to be an active part of this community! :rainbow1:

There's no question it's a rosella, but I also think Wendy is correct. Beautiful bird. Welcome to the forums!

Hey Dru! Welcome to the forum!
Is your rosella tame? He/she is absolutely gorgeous and I'm sure we're all looking forward to seeing you two bond!

He is not tame unfortunately. Either that or he needs some time to adjust to me. I just got him yesterday so we'll see. Have any tips?
