Luvparrots Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Once again Dr. Flock, You're simply the best!!!! :kiss:
skmunson Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 If you don't mind, what is the difference btwn. the amazon and the macaw? I've googled the pictures and some look just alike depending on coloring. Thanks.
Tigerlily Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 hmmmm are you sure you're looking at the right pictures? macaws are very big with very long tails amazons are about the same size and build as a grey but mostly green
skmunson Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Okay, that's what I thought. Maybe they were just mixing pictures of different parrots. Thanks
Tycos_mom Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 I will show you the difference. Fergie is a Yellow crowned Amazon Jeepers is a Severe Macaw
Moobu Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 I've also seen keets called budgies a lot. Maybe this is more of a European nickname?
MarcusCAG Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 I didn't see any abbreviations for Quaker parrots/Monk parakeets. Beaker might get upset if he notices. Otherwise, thanks for the nifty list!
Barbara2 Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 Sennie=Senegal was not on the list either.
skyyblues Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 neither was the Yellow Collard Mini Macaw .. snuggles is nuttin like her name sake she will take off a finger if she finds out u forgot her ..
