what kind of bird is this?

[CheshireGrymm]

So i was at the pet store looking for some toys for my gcc and i felt something on my head as i was looking and this little guy went from his perch straight to my head and stayed with me the entire time! My question is, what kid of bird is he?

Much appreciated in advance! I hope he isnt too expensive (i am going back on tuesdsy to ask about the price)! :42: :42:

red bellied parrot they are the great birds!!!

 

[CheshireGrymm]

awesome! Thanks! I hope he's still there when I save the money!

 

[Terry57]

He is a real cutie for sure

 

[CheshireGrymm]

I definitely plan on getting him if he isn't too much money!

 

[Terry57]

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

 

[Blancaej]

What a great picture! He certainly took to you. I hope you are able to go back and get him at some point!

Pretty bird. It's better to get a bird that picks you then one you pick and it looks like he picked you. I hope you can get him.

I second on that.

If it picked you, it will be more loyal to you. Less time spend on training for sure. My Lily picked me and picked her own name. She is flighted. I can't tell you how many time she flew out of the house (tried to chase after me) and still comes back when I call. She got locked out one time and still waited for me outside the closed door when she heard me calling and looking for her inside.

He is so cut! I love those kind of parrots! I hope you can get him!

Never seen one of them before, very cute! Where can I get me one?! Haha

Red bellys are high on my list for my next bird.

Are you changing from a macaw to a red bellied???

 

[CheshireGrymm]

I hope I can get him too! I just really hope he's not too much money, though. How much do they typically go for?

 

[Mekaisto]

He's very cute - just make sure you research species requirements before you buy him

 

[thekarens]

At our pet store they go for $600. Local breeders $400-$500.

Lol, no, but if this little guy chose me at the store like this, I would love to give him a good home. I'm still looking for a macaw!:42:

 

[MikeyTN]

Red bellied goes around $500 or so here as well. Good luck!

Unless it's a juvi. The young ones all have red/orange on the belly and when they molt the make will have the red belly and the female won't. The one in the pic had red/orange on the belly.
