Parrotlets

Parrotlets

The Pacific Parrotlet is one of the more commen species kept as pet . The coloring for this species is mostly green, but several color mutations have been discovered through selective breeding. TheĀ males Parrotlets have markings of cobalt blue on their head, wings and tailĀ  which the females lack. Sexually dimorphic is what we call the parrotlets meaning males can be distinguished from females.

These miniature parrots in the wild travel in flocks which, depending on the species can range from as low as four to over 100 birds. Most either species travel in flocks of about 5 to 12 or of about 10 to 40. This species forms strong pair bonds with mates. As a pet, a parrotlet is usually friendly to more than just one person.
