I just met one of these birds yesterday. I think he is an Aratinga but not completely sure. He was very friendly but nibbled my fingers a lot, not sure if that was aggression or playfulness. He never bit hard.
Beautiful little bird, smaller than my quaker but bigger than a budgie, mostly green with dark spots and bright yellow rings around the eyes. His eyes were his most striking feature. They were crazy eyes! The irises opened and closed a lot. It was kinda spooky.
Does anyone have one of these little guys? Can you tell me more about them? Are they available in the USA? Expensive?
He was in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. I saw a lot of birds down there. Some very nice and some rather neglected and poorly socialized.
