Oh, I love little miss chipper! She is a cutie! Nice to know they are not loud like larger birds. My husband had an Indian Ring Neck Parrot years ago and that bird hated me ... would bite me any chance he got - he was really attached to my husband! That was one LOUD bird! He screeched all day long ... wanting out of his cage, but the only time he could be out was when hubby was home to deal with him. We finally gave him to a lady who took in rescue birds. She had a female ring neck and wanted a mate for her so it worked out just great! Our bird was about 10 or 11 so she thought he might be too old to begin breeding but they didn't have any problems at all! We used to stop in and visit once in awhile when we were headed to Orlando and the two birds were so happy together, ended up having a few clutches and babies that were so cute! I don't think I ever want another bird if it is a loud squaky sort. I just don't have the time for it. We went down to Lauderdale to my sisters for Thanksgiving and her next door neighbor has a Beautiful little bird called a Caique (pronounced "kike") ... very quiet and calm bird and gorgeous colors!

Here's a picture of him ... his name is "Mango"


edited to correct the birds name ... at first I said it was Kiwi - it is Mango! I knew it was some kind of fruit. LOL. Isn't he the prettiest thing?
