Dayna:

I have a pair of Red Rumps, and they had one clutch so far (2 babies) 1 male and one female, identical to the parents. We hand fed them from 3 weeks, and they were real sweet...after they weaned out they have nothing much to do with us....you can stroke them while they are in the cage but don't like being held. I don't remember posting pics, but I'll try to get some new pics up soon.

Red rumps breed extremely well for us.
But are ultra aggressive as a rule.
I know someone who tried colony breeding them in a big avairy and started with a dozen pairs and ended up with one pair!!!
We had some in with our Indian Ringnecks and they killed our Albino Male IRN. For a little bird with a beautiful voice they can sure do some damage if your not careful.

Yeah, I was really tempted by some at the bird fair last year. They are so pretty and so cheap. My AV knows my set up very well and said don't put them with Tiels, the Red Rumps are very agressive.
