That is a meyers if I am not mistaken

Oh! I saw the green belly-fluff just now, I originally thought he was all brown!

Meyer's parrots have some yellow feathers. I'm not sure if young ones too

Bronze 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.

I'm sure it is something from Poicephalus genus

Roz,
I'll defer to your species knowledge.
But now I really want to know lol

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.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss of your two sweet babies! How hard it must've (still is) for you...! May they forever fly high!!

My bronze wing had coral colored skin around her eye to match her vent and I think wing feathers.

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.

We need more senegals on this site!!!

(fly high, little guy <3)

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. Then again, I only have the Rickeybird Scrapbook Archives to browse..........................................................................................................................................................

Dear Mr. Rival Sir,

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
