very pretty bird, how old is he? What age did the yellow and red really start to show through like that?
Sorry for bumping an old post, but we just got a Superb and there really are not to many posts on them. |

Superb parrots are defantly a favourite, 5 hours west and i have seen them wild. Remarkable birds, but need a lot of space, as they love to fly from perch to perch
also has a very pleasant song, not to noisy or disterbing. Tennyis, how old is your superb?? as males take over a year to acquire full colouration, otherwise it maybe a hen hope this helps Zac,

It's about 10 weeks old now, it has yellow and red around the face where it is starting to show through so I think it is going to be a male.
Very happy with him, we do need to get a bigger cage though. We bought a cockatiel sized cage and wound up taking the superb home instead. He's almost never in his cage though so I don't think it's to big of a hurry pretty much just to sleep and eat |

still another bump-those who have these guys as pets,can you tell me more as i will have one being shipped to me from florida this week,i know they are not cuddly thats why i was looking into the polytelis species,but i have had such a hard time finding any,i have been looking since january,breeders were sold out,their birds did not produce or they never answered my e-mails or calls?i finally found a breeder in florida that had two 4-month old handfed superbs 1-boy he's not sure on the other,so i jummped at the chance to get one i picked the boy

Mine think they are pretty superb. I tell them they are to boost their self-confidence.
I've never seen the real Macoy. He is beautiful. I'm going to read up on that one!
