A parrot "mini-encyclopedia"

[LaManuka]

That's so very sad, Roz. I guess maybe they are a problem for agriculture if the flocks are big enough. Poor birdies, it's not their fault

I know a bit less about QP's, but with IRN's there's a BIG problem of competition with native birds about nest hollows - believe, they are able to throw away native baby chicks and then they occupy hollows to grow own babies - they may cause decline of some native birds population.
Sure, there's probably a problem with agriculture too. QP's make SO BIG nests and it's also a problem...

plum headed parakeet

 

[LaManuka]

Beautiful, Roz! I love the plumheads though we don't see them much here in Oz. I think we saw some at a zoo once but not so commonly kept as pets - a bit more common as aviary specimens I think.

 

[Rozalka]

Thank you
Personally I've seen them only in a bad place called as "papugarnia" here... sometimes I use own pics to create this mini-encyclopedia, but I promised myself to not put there any pics from "papugarnia", so didn't use...
Here's one on my hand:

I'm not good in turquoise parrots - is it red bellied mutation?

Yeah, pretty sure it is

 

[Rozalka]

Yeah, pretty sure it is

Thanks, I think so, but I was a bit confused cos some other red bellied turquoise parrots have much more red, but maybe it just depends on a bird. + I'm a bit sleepy, so I can make more mistakes

You know I'm pretty sketchy on mutations, Roz, but that is a very beautiful birdie. Thanks for sharing the pic!

it's not mine - it's from Wikipedia On Polish version this picture is set as a "main" one, while normally all "main" photos are standard birds (no mutation). But in this case definitely it is a mutation

 

[LaManuka]

Well Roz, Wiki or not, it's a beautiful pic and i haven't seen one like it before. Such vibrant colour!

 

[Rozalka]

I've just gotten an idea - maybe like under each species I add links to different sites (I don't always post them here), maybe I should do the same with type categories? And that would be more about parrot care? But I mean general info, not articles about one species.
PS I forgot - and I still lack behavioral info about species from "others" category - I don't know yet where to put it cos it's the most diverse category

Looks awesome, Rozz! Just a couple of typos - you want "crested", not "creasted", and "Titron" should be "Triton" instead. But Rozzy, once again, I love your work!

I didn't even know "eleonora cockatoo" was a thing-
Ok that's really cool
Great job though! I love it, as always!
