great deal? I haven't been sure, since the ages are unknown, splits are unknown, history is unknown, and they are turq and cinn, two fairly common colors that in some areas you can buy for 150-175 a piece.

I'm pretty sure that the male is an ex-hand tamed bird still. just the way he acts.

he was sold as a turquoise. I really have NO idea, since he has funny colors, I thought all turquoise's look different, since the shading is different. I'm hoping for pretty babies, I already have one sold (for half price to a boss) if it comes out NOT yellow they were $400 for both, and a much smal...

I'm asking because I plugged cinnamon female and turqu. male into a calculator and..

got 100% visual greens. But I think the cinnamon mutation is more complex than that calculator does, since I was looking at pictures with cinnamon/blues/greys

its for BOTH. they CAN fly in it too. its mostly so that they don't have accidents like the one posted about. If you want a more of a flying type thing, there are figure 8 harnesses (like, a cat one) bird sized. edit: heres another pic from that sight, a bird in flight http://bestplacebythefire.com/...

I hope to, someday!!! the female lost her tail feathers in the nest box last season, they had eggs, but none hatched at the previous owners. They are being passed around, and I think this'll be the end of the road for them! They make the cutest sounds the wood is pine, the paint is the krylon latex ...

to put it bluntly, they chopped off the last half if his wing that contains the flight feathers so that he can't fly anymore. from WIKI Pinioning is the act of surgically removing the pinion joint, the joint of a bird's wing farthest from the body, to prevent flight. The bones removed when pinioning...
