Your birds are just beautiful...such nice color! :D

Here are pics of my Normal Bourke's Parakeets. They aren't as colorful as your Rosey but they still have some nice soft coloring. My pair are not tame but I am going to try to see if I can tame them up one of these days. It may be futile to attempt but I will try at least. I just don't know if I should start with the male or female. It would so nice to have them not be afraid of me. :|

Thanks for the link to the Bourke Blog...I will check that out.

Here is the Male:

And the Female:

Nice looking birds...all of mine are healthy at the mo after losing several finches in the past few days...it's quite a relief.
