Lovely looking birds! I've got a male spectacled, it's nice to have some more on the forum! Think you're the first one here with green-rumps, what are they like compared to the spectacleds behaviour-wise? They're a bit smaller too, aren't they? I'd love to see some piccies of the babies when they hatch (hint, hint!) |

Thanks Jan! Im from South Wales! near Cardiff. The Green rumped are really lovely! about half an inch smaller than the speccies. But they are very shy and can be jumpy. so they are futhest away in my outhouse. I just need them to breed for me now!!!! lol!!!! Yeah My speccies are on 2 eggs! can't wait for the babies. We had problems with the first clutch. The first 2 babies hatched died. And the one that survived had really bad splayed leggs. I tried to PS ring but the parents kept removing it. It was a tight squeeze so not sure if the damaged legs had anything to do with the parents removing the rings. I Love my parrotlets! Is your speccie tame schematalie? |

yes, he was hand-reared and is (mostly) well-behaved. I got a celestial baby a few weeks ago which he is desperate to get to, so i've had a few nips off him recently! I've been told they are less feisty than the celestials, i'm not sure about that - my one does think he rules the roost! |
