and I saw the cutest little Moustache Parakeet, I looked for a picture of him on him and I found a lot of pics of them with a blueish colored head... well this guys didnt have a blue head with was more of a greyish color... he was cute and I wanted to bring him home, because this pet store has no right selling birds or bird products because they are all on SEED!!! ...jerks
I just love the little unibrow look to him, and if I had on I would name him Ed :10:

They are very cute. Maybe Chi its time to get a little friend for Cricket :p

It drives me crazy how most pet stores feed only seed. The pet store where Popsicle came from will not switch to pellets even after being told several times by a vet and the birds get fruit and veggies once a month. :mad:

My brothers ex girlfriend had one of those, but she was petshop bought and had a terrible live with the girls brother. She had a major screaming problem, but i made sure they call someone who wanted breeding stock, so shes a happy gal now somewhere.

The reason for her being so dull, she' either still very young or it could be food related, they should have a more bluish coloured head. The males have bright orange/ red beaks, the female's is black, so its easy to tell the difference.

Check out the Plum headed parakeet, that is a beauty!

Yeah in my ideal little world I wouldn't have to worry about money, I would live in this huge house, with huge garden, and run my own little rescue, oh and I would become some awesome expert able to cure anything, in any parrot. :D Well a gal can dream can't she.
