Parrot lovers … If you have any parrots, what species are and what your best qualities?
What kind of parrot do you and what you like about him / her? I have a Nanday Conure and Lovebird Black-. Both are reared by hand. I love them because they are friendly and love to play. My Conure loves being hugged and loves to shower, because it is like rain. (I live in a warm climate). And my Lovebird flies and sits on my shoulder every time he wants attention. None of them has learned to talk yet, but they know some tricks.
I have 8 birds … * A male umbrella cockatoo whom I love for their loyalty and how sweet and soft is with children. He arranges his hair and is very relaxing to be. * A female Umbrella cockatoo that is a bit on the anxious side, but very sweet. What I like about it is that go to sleep under the covers with me. * An African gray man who hates women, but has grown since I had him in respect women, not fear them. I love him because he likes to get kisses and he calls me an idiot girlfriend in my voice (do not know where she got that …) * A female Greenwing macaw. I love this bird, because I've always wanted a macaw, and when I finally had the opportunity to obtain one was ten years old who had only been handled by his owner, male (for what he thought never tolerate women). She is a love with me and very loving and affectionate. I am so happy to have found her. * A female parakeet Derby. The call Gabby (short Gabrielle) because just gabs and gabs. She is like a teenager on the phone all day. She has so much personality. It's great to be around her. * Three birds love. Only two of them are hand tame, but they are pretty sweet to each other and they are all best friends hanging in his cage. Ugh! lol

Blood Parrot – Medium $19.99 Though long thought to be a hybrid between two cichlid species, the fish known commonly as “Parrot Cichlids”, “Blood Parrots”, or “King Kong Parrots” are cultivated deformities of the cichlid Amphilophus citrinellus , commonly known as the Midas Cichlid. These fish have short, squat bodies and their mouths do not close completely. Parrots are bred to produce their unique body shape in much the same way goldfish are bred to produce the varieties like Oranda’s and Ryukin’s. Just as Parrots are selectively bred for their body shape, they can also be bred for color. The “normal” colors can range from white or yellow to orange (the true “Blood Parrots” to deep red (often referred to as “purple”). Some black mottling can also occur. Some variations in body shape can also produce Parrots with a “lumpier” body as seen in the “King Kong Parrots” or tail-less fish as in the “Heart Parrots”. As cichlids, Parrots may become territorial when established though they are generally far less aggressive than the natural Midas Cichlid. Their body shape makes them less mobile and aggressive and the Parrots should not be kept with very aggressive tankmates or with very small or docile tankmates and may prey on some invertebrates like shrimp. Suitable tankmates would be fish with a similar temperament like Geophagus , Severums, catfish and similar fish. They can be fed a varied diet of pellets and frozen foods and formulas. |
