We saw this guy and fell in love. Seems a bit quiet and really never does squat.

Well give him time, he's just getting used to his new surroundings. I have heard of this hybred. They tend to shrink and wrinkle over time.

Oh, dear.

I wouldn't let him play with your other birds... I don't think he could fend for himself very well. I dare say they would kill him pretty quickly.

He looks nice now, but be careful. This species tends to fizzle out after a while!
