I know this isn't the exact newsgroup but I couldn't find one. So I figured this should be helpful. Sometime this week I'll be picking up my new baby. I've owned birds before (a few tiels) but never a bird like this one. I'm very excited, my dog a bit less so. I have her cage all ready (20x2..

Hi all, I just bought my first parrotlet from Animal House Pet shops in St. Petersburg, Fl. One of the shop workers said that the bird was hand fed but that it hasn't been in awhile. What does hand fed mean to the level of comfort the bird should have? I have read that most breeders teach their bi..

I've been reading this group for the last couple of weeks after a friend of mine brought her parrotlet in to work...what a cutie he is. Anyway, I had never heard of a parrotlet before, so I did some research on the net to find out more about them. I located a local breeder..and this past Sunday I..

Hello all, I just got a parrotlet. He's very cute. I know parrotlets have the reputation of being a small bird with big attitude, but wow does this guy bite! He barely comes up for air! My hands look like raw meat. Even when I put him on my shoulder he'll manage to chomp into my neck. Yee-ouch! I..

Hello to everyone. I haven't been on RPB for quite some time, but am hoping that someone (Pacific parrotlet breeders/owners) can give me some advice on how to wean a parrotlet baby from pablum to seeds. This past summer, I had the experience of hand-raising three parrotlet babies after the par..
