PARROTLETS
The Parrotlet is the smallest parrots in the world; also referred to as pocket parrots. I love the pieds!
I handfeed my parrotlets because it makes them wonderful pets. I also believe that many of my handfed breeders are wonderful parents because they don't mind when I check the nest box or clean the cage They are unafraid.
Don't let their small size fool you, they can be spunky. Parrotlets make wonderful pets but they sometimes like to test thier boundries. It is important to handle your parrotlet as often as you can, especially when they are babies. They have wonderful personalities and are very curious. And remember
a parrotlet can NEVER have too many toys! I find the parrotlets are great Toy Testers here in my aviary.
A Little Information...
I feed my parrotlets my own mix which includes seeds, pellets, dried veggies, safflower, oats n groats, sunflower, millet, kale, broccoli, and some fruit.
