pileated, parakeets in our Avian Garden. I have kept this species before, and I adore them! I have been turning over every stone on the internet and I can find very little information on this, one of my most favorite of all aviary birds! I did manage to find ONE breeder. I sent an e-mail and hope to hear back soon. I also found ONE good article about them, here.I can't believe there is not more about them on the internet! These birds are so pretty with their purple chest, dark red head and vent,
greenish yellow cheeks,.... I just love their colors! :) Their song is quite pleasant and quiet. Even rosellas are noisier. And they are quite tame and curious! They have a bad reputation according to the article I mentioned, saying they tend to be "flighty and timid". Indeed, those must have been wild-caught birds, because the two breeding pairs I had several years ago were friendly even when they were on eggs! I hope I can find a pair! If there is anybody out there who knows of any breeders of red capped parakeets, please let me know!!!! Just post a reply here or send me an e-mail!
