Oh! I saw the green belly-fluff just now, I originally thought he was all brown!That is a meyers if I am not mistaken
Meyer's parrots have some yellow feathers. I'm not sure if young ones tooThat is a meyers if I am not mistaken
I'm sure it is something from Poicephalus genusBronze wing pionus! ( I'm thinking) edit saw the green so now I'm not sure...
You dont seem them as much in the trade anymore but everyone who has owned one loves them.

Not necessarily all meyers have it. But you are right, it is a poi 100%, i cannot mistake their faces.
ok, I didn't know about it: "Subspecies P. m. damarensis and P. m. reichenowi lack yellow markings on the head, while P. m. transvaalensis may have little to no yellow on the head" (~Wikipedia)

Jasper is a Meyers parrot. He has a little bit of yellow in his forehead and shoulders. Green/ aqua tummy. Mostly brownish grey in color. On the right side of his forehead he only has a little bit of yellow. Much more is on the left side.
I had a bronze wing Pionus years ago but she was killed in a gas leak, along with my very old cherry headed conure. She was a beautiful bird and the conure had the best personality though he had been terribly abused before he came to me. I miss them both. Somehow my Quaker was spared, thank god.

They probably saved me as I was getting very bad headaches when I was at home sleeping in my futon on the floor. I am just glad that my Quaker was ok. I could not have handled losing her.
Yes agreed!! It seems to be not that many people own them. Saw one post saying they are aggressive but they are really not at all and has the best temperment among many other species. Maybe I was lucky with my BB that he was the sweetest, smartest, cutest and most cuddly birdie I have ever owned for 27 years. Seeing his closeup photo makes me want to have another big cry again. Every little noise in the house still think it was him. Really miss my darling so much

Good one, Sax. A rich mine, in my case. Gee, there seem to be some persistent negative themes in my entries.

Your last posting was off the charts on the Humormetrics Scale. It actually broke our humor meter. We are seeking reparations in the form of a daily LOL-FIDS posting of the Rickybird or any bird pic of your choice. Also, such future postings will allow us to reformat the scale and recalibrate a new solid-state meter.
We would greatly appreciate your diligence and compliance in this matter.
Sincerely, Kindest Regards, etc, etc
