They are really interesting birds! Here's another link that you might like to check out: http://animal-world.com/encyclo/bird...ntparakeet.php.

And if you or someone you know has back issues of Bird Talk magazine, you might want to check out the December 2004 issue: http://www.shopanimalnetwork.com/pro...0&1=305&3=1181.

Nobody at the vet's office had ever seen a regent parrot before. They had to look it up in the "Vet's Big Book O' Parrots". (They were kind enough to copy the pages for me.) We had quite of parade of employees in and out of the exam room, everybody just had to see this extremely rare and bee-yoo-tee-full bird.

Vet asked if I'd mind telling how much I paid for her. She about crapped her pants when I told -- it was about 15-20% of what she'd expected. As is usual with my pets, the vet exam cost more than twice the cost of the pet -- I'm having her tested for everything under the sun.

The vet says she's extremely tame, "because you can pick her up without her drawing your blood", heh. Now that her wings are clipped she will hopefully learn to "step up" and hang out on my shoulder.

Regents and other Polytelis like Princesses are known for their mellow personalities. They won't be drawing anyone's blood!
