Today I brought home my new feathered friend. I've been searching for a while and hadn't found the right parrot until a few days ago at a local pet store. He was comfortable with me right away and I decided not to look any further, I found the right parrot at last. He (pending a DNA test) is just 4 months old and I haven't chosen a name yet (so far it's just "little parrot"). He made himself at home right away in the nice new cage I recently got. Within a few minutes of moving in he discovered the food dish and started eating. He explored the cage for a while then it was time for a nap. He's been eating a seed mix at the store, only about 30% pellets, so we'll be working on improving his diet and introducing fresh foods.
I haven't disclosed what kind of parrot he is in case anyone wants to try their hand at guessing. A couple hints first: In size he's somewhere between a parrotlet and a scarlet macaw (not very helpful I know, but I don't want to make it too easy)
. He's not exactly the same as my previous parrots (yellow crowned Amazon, Congo African grey and standard green Quaker). Now take a guess if you care to.
I'll post a picture within the next few days, if he'll sit still long enough and not attack my camera.
