I bet its a Linnie. They are the only species of grass parrots that come normal in green and have solid yellow mutations. Long tail or short?? Does it kind of lean froward when perching??

Well good then. Yes it would be a grass parrot. But more accuratly a linoleated parakeet. LOL, I got one of my Rosey bourkes from a pet store it was in a cage with the budgies and it was a little bit more in price than the $20 with a sign that read "PINK PARAKEET" $35. Hubby started to speak out loud and I quickly Shushed him and said "I'll Take her". Too bad I hadnt been there a few days earlier - she came in with a mate!

Um, please read the entire thread. This is an old thread that has been answered. The owner deduced it to be a linnie.
