judygram Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 They are precious babies, Tari, and especially the blue one. I saw some at the bird fair last weekend, very pretty birds. Thanks for sharing them with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblhelix Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Super cute. I hear they are currently illegal to keep in California...I was looking at Quakers before we got Kip. Seem like great little birds. What is the deal with the head feathers and scratching? Is it true that based on how the feathers grow you cannot scratch against the grain like many of us do with greys (and most other parrots)?

judygram Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 What price do you sell them for may I ask? I considered one before I got my sun conure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Dblhelix I haven't heard that, I assumed you could scratch against the direction the feathers grow with any bird. Learn something new every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tari Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 You know I never heard that either. My Dandy wont me touch him but the one I had before him would let me do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblhelix Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 hmm, I got the head scratching thing wrong. That is true for Eclectus species! They can only be stroked with the grain of the feather. Sorry for the confusion! :ohmy: <br><br>Post edited by: dblhelix, at: 2007/06/28 04:23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Well that is a new one on me, I didn't know there were a species that you couldn't stroke them but one way. The eclectus is a beautiful bird also, and one those that you can tell the sex without a dna test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblhelix Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Yeah, Eclectus are sexually dimorphic (meaning you can visually tell the sexes apart). In most parrot species sexing is not possible w/o DNA testing, or if they plop out an egg! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tari Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 Parrotlets can be sexed visualy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
