Rick, that's a beautiful Rosie, is it yours? I breed parrots and the lady that I sell my babies to has one that is in love with me. She keeps offering it to me on an indentured servant basis but $2,000 o weekend work is too much for me. Barry

I need a bigger tennis racket...

BMW: i don't have a digital camera, so i look around the web to find a picture that is right on what my bird looks like. i have never been around one that wasn't sweet. a friend bred a pair and the birds let her go into the nest without any problems.i got gamine hand fed when she was about 2 1/2 months. i just checked and she is 11 next month. time flies, but she doesn't. she likes to cuddle. she wants petting under her wings, something i've not had many birds want. when i go near the cage, she leans forward and opens all the feathers on her head and face. i found a website from asutralia and i baby can be purchased in australia for $50. to $150.00. of course no exporting. drop me a line [email protected]

Holy crap! They cost $2000!? How long do they live?

bud451: 50 - 80 years. about the same as your wife.

Double holy crap! Polly should have a 401k. LOL!
