The yellow ones are very expensive, but the greens and blues are less so. One of the easiest parrots to tame. They seem naturally bonded to humans. One tame one in an aviary and the others watch and become tame too. We have greens and blues breeding too. Minimum space for a Princess would be a 3 by 3 metre aviary. Link to comment

At the age of 2 and a half a male will get whats called SPATULES on the end of a flight feather......like this The Avairy is 4ft x 4ft Way too small for a Princess parrot and you have two in that space Its not different size-wise to putting a pair of budgies in a cage 12 inches by 12 inches. 18 months plus Females sometimes breed younger than 18 months ...some males take longer to mature. I think you need to be more sure of their sexes and you need a much larger space. For your Mum to expect breeding when sexes arent determined and the space they are in is cramped and not suitable for a pair of princesses is expecting way too much Edited October 10, 2010 by KAZ Link to comment
