I hope you don't keep her up at night partying now

How do you sex Meyer's parrots?

I wonder what the babies would look like between her mate (you) and her?
Parrots with red & white singlets on

How do you sex Meyer's parrots?

A male is bigger, has more yellow on its head and shoulders. Also the colors of their feet are different.

What colour are their feet?
Oh baby, you got hot orange feet

Males have more pruple colored feet while females have more greyish.

Grey feet is standard for parrots, purple feet are different.

I kept blackheart (shaft-tail) finches back in the 80s and there are 2 varieties. One from Western Australia that has an orange beak and orange legs/ feet. The other from the opposite side of the country has a red beak and red feet/ legs. No purple legs for them but they were fun to keep. One day there was a bobtail lizard sunbaking near the aviary and all the finches were on a perch closest to the lizard. They all had their heads down and tails sticking up making a warning call. It was fun to watch, an entire perch (6 foot long) covered in finches all looking at this lizard.
I miss my birds
