Thanks Yep - There is a local breeder - He has different mutation. I like parrotlets size like canary but I can touch and train and they can mimic so I am thinking of breeding them and train their babies as pets. With this pair – we and my breeder friend have been calculating – of what mutation I am getting American White (dilute blue) X light blue – You can see on other post under parrotlets mutation - his wings have a great color - Let me know what you think ? I am also looking for green rumped but only females is available.

After I see your post - I decided to follow - See how bad influence you are -- Just kidding - yours look too cute

LOL, oh Lord, I swear.....you all are tempting me with all this parrotlet action. It's like parrotlet explosion from coast to coast -- north, west, east, south! :) If I ever buy a mansion, I will be sure to get a pair of these cute little babies. I'm already tempted to get one of every color -- like a mini rainbow. Love these big personalities in small bodies. For now, I live vicariously through everyone's little jewels!! Beautiful babies everyone! :)
God is my redeemer and it is through Him I have found eternal happiness. I am grateful, I am blessed, and I am truly loved. I wish all this and more for all members of our finch forum family. May you all be blessed and highly favored. <3

I got a green pacific parrotlet, Pickle, at a fair this past Saturday because of you all on this forum lol!! She is three months old and was hand fed by a wonderful breeder. She is settling in very nicely and I've already discovered she will do anything for some whole grain bread!!! So to all of you talking about your parrotlets, thank you!!! I can't wait until she is more comfortable with me :). The breeder had her own "not for sale" parrotlet with her and he can do all sorts of tricks, my favorite was a head stand!!
