Rock pebbler/regent parakeet! *pics*

[Sterling1113]

So it's to my understanding they are rather hard to come by in the states, especially considering I find ZERO results for them on bird breeders . Com. (Was looking out of curiosity.)
But we have had the joy of spending time with this lovely lady a couple times this week while visiting various bird shops, and she's wonderful! I know it's only one bird but if all rock pebblers are anything like her I would HIGHLY suggest one as a companion. Takes scratches, very playful, will talk your ear off al day!!! (In birdy talk). I love the colors too, so beautiful.

Oh wow I didn't realize they were that big. Have seen the name around over here. Might have to keep an eye out for them!

LOL she's a little fatty!!! It's so funny how the grass parakeets are built compared to the stocky parrots I'm used to. I love her waddles. And her feet are so big! She has SO MUCH SASS but she's very polite with her beak, even when she's excited hehe.

Yea I visited my friends barrabands last weekend and only now do I realize how funny they look! Teeny little heads, especially now compared to my sennie. It's funny, I never really noticed when I had Barry!

You know they're related to Barrabands... also my mom's Princess of Wales. I've seen a couple before and they are bigger than Barrabands or Princess.

The males are pretty too with a more mustard yellow.

All three Polytelis species are seen more as aviary birds in the US instead of pets.

Yea i heard that a lot when i got Barry (from people who had never had them as pets!!) but he was such an awesome little bird!! Great beginner birds and i just cant understand why they aren't more popular! He was such an easy little bird.

I am in Illinois and have been searching for Rock Pebbler for some time, Let me know where the one you mentioned is located and if anyone else knows of one looking for a forever home

Oh, this fellow is in Carrollton, TX. Quite a ways away!

LOL yeah she definitely had quite the personality.. and just like last time, after we were done playing, she went right up to her perch to take a nap. I'm not sure if anyone else plays with her so I'm glad we're able to keep her somewhat socialized and exercised!
