Here are a couple more of our "other" critters . They are Parrotlets , the smallest known true parrots a bit smaller than a lovebird. Thier closest relatives in the parrot world are Amazons , believe it or not ! Paco is the blue one and Taco is the green guy . They are a pair M and F , so we cage them separately unless they are out playing under supervision ,no more breeding thank yew !

They are like Velcro birds when they are together !

Taco is happy to hide out in his slinky unless we tell him Paco wants him to come out and play ! :D

Those are so cute. I almost bought one at the bird mart, but resisted the temptation.

Soooo cute! I love it how they are snug together. Could you not let them just be together all the time? It just seems so sweet that they do that. Are they like breeding machines if left in same cage?

They will not only breed , but believe it or not get into some horrible fights ! They are in a flight cage , with a divider so they can see , talk and play , but not kill each other ! :eek: They can only be together while we are right there to supervise ! :( But we are retired , so they get to spend a lot of time out of the cages ! :)
