New member here. My name is Jerry. I live in Riverside, CA and breed normal green parrotlets and parakeets. My parrotlet breeders where bought as pets 4 years ago. They have 2 clutches every season and they just hatched out a clutch of 7 chicks. I hand feed the parrotlets and band them. My breeders are Maggie and Bambino and I have 2 males from the first clutch that I kept as pets, they are Dinky and Cody, and now the 7 chicks which I am starting to pull.Glad to have found this site. I also belong to the Parrotlet Plus Group on Yahoo. Bird people are good people.
Jerry

Hi,
I forgot all about the bird show, but with pulling chicks and feeds I wouldn't have been able to go.

Thank you. Years ago I wanted a parrot since I was bredding parakeets. Ended up get a male and female parrotlet. They are fascinating birds. This is their 5th clutch. It gets harder everytime to let them go to new homes after hand feeding them for 4 +weeks and playing with each of them as they develop their little personalities.

Welcome! P'lets are fun little balls of energy & loving too.

Yes they are. The chicks grow to fast but enjoy as they develop their personality. Its just so hard to when they go to new homes. My 2 males are the sweetest.
