Wow thanks for gr8 pics , they are gr8. Natalie xxxxx

Dani and Prinny

Thanks Natalie and Dani.
The plumheads are a little larger than a lovebird with the characteristic ringneck tail.

They are BEAUTIFUL! Each and every one of them. I've never seen most of them! How many birds total do you have?

OMG I love your plumhead! I can't believe how stunning your babies are! you should be one proud mama!

Thank you! I am quite proud of my babies. And I agree the Plumheads are wonderful! i could have a house full of more type of Psittacula, but well I think I have planty now. Unless of course I can find a Malabar - I LOVE those.
I have 8 IRNs, 1 African, 2 Plumheads, 1 Derbyan, 1 Hahns, 1 Parrotlet and 15 Tiels.
Tiels and Ringnecks are my hearts. I couldn't dream of not having at least one of each.

how expensive are the Derbyan/aka mustache parakeets? How different from IRNS are they? I've never seen birds like that, seriously I didn't even know they existed!

The Derbyan is actuallty a different species from the Moustache. They do get confused a lot, but the Derbyan is a lot bigger - about the size of a Timneh grey - maybe a little smaller. The Moustache is the size of a quaker. Honestly I am not sure of the exact cost on the market for the Derbyan, as I got mine from a breeder friend of mine, so I am not paying the price they would go for on the market. Taking a guess I would say probably about $600. He is actually very similar in personality to an Alexandrine - not a touchy feely bird but likes to hang out with you. He means business when he chews so I have to get him the macaw size toys with wood or it will be gone in a matter of hours. He can also crack some of the large nuts like almonds and walnuts. The voice is very loud - reminds me of one of those mini air horns they use at games - VERY LOUD!!!!

thank you

*If* I ever get another ringneck... it'll be a grey.

They are all sooooo beautiful. What are the temperaments of the plumheads like?

wow ! what a wonderful family you have

Great pics, Thanks.

I particularly like the one of Indy. It's got a Goth feel to it; looks like he's perched on a skeleton of some poor critter he just ate up. HAHAHa!

My plumheads are very shy little guys. They kind of hang out and will chatter when the others bother them. Mine don't play with a whole lot of toys, but they do have favorites. They will eat anything or at least try it.

They are similar to IRN personality and at the same time completely different.

I absolutely love them!

The grey was a dream of mine also and I happened to luck out and met a local breeder of Ringnecks that is also a friend of mine. She has grey babies about every other year. Mine was the only grey baby that year and then I lucked out and got a boy. He is one hundred percent attitude and can be quick to use his beak, but all I have to do is look at that cute mischevious face and I have to pick him up and kiss on him. He doesn't appreciate it though. He is definitely an alpha male and even when he was still being fed, he would try and bully all the others around. It kind of backfired when he got older and wanted to make friends - they would see him coming and beat a retreat away from him.

soo cool

i also have a lot
a shamrock macaw, dozen zebra finches of different colors, 2 african red bellies, a tiel, 5 irns, 2 fischers lovebirds, and a rosie bourke parakeet

more pics of plumbheads and hahns macaw please

I love the pics!

Thanks Jade!

Ok Birdman5000. Here is my hahns.

Got hold of the ranch dressing for wings before I could stop him.



I am so pretty!

Wow love the Hahns! Too cute...how big is he?

Dani and Prinny

He's a real sweetie.

OMG a Pied Plumhead How on earth did you get one of those? Are they rare in America? I have seen a few photos before but never really seen one like this before.
I love your Derbyan, i always wanted to breed Derbyans but because of their size and destructive nature, i decided not to.
I am a realy sucker for Hahns Macaws. They are great birds and have such amazing personalites.

I loved all the pics, look forward to the next installment

WOW They are all so BEAUTIFUL. Your very lucky !

So beautiful!!!! They really melts my heart!!! I want more and I loved the grey one!!! Don't stop feeding us with pics please!!

Thanks everybody! The hahns is about the size of a quaker maybe a little bigger.

The pied plumhead was just a fluke. A lady was selling him and I bought him since I really liked the one I had - turned out to be one of the babies from my breeder friend. We really did not know hea was a pied until he got older and started molting out more - then we realized what he was. So needless to say I got him for the price of a normal Plummie. Where I live - I do not see many pieds, then again I don't see many plumheads so I don't know how many there are out there.

awesome cool hahns i want to get a or some of them my goal is to collect all the macaws i doubt ill ever get any hyacinth, blue calar, illegars, and definatly no spixs macaws because those are all so rare and/or expensive

oh yay and maybe no nobles macaw they are kinda rare and more expensive but practicly the same as a hahns so id get one or the other but they are so similar i dont see why pay the extra mulah for such a slight difference in my collection
