I would like to introduce you all to the newest member of my family. Her name is Scrappy. I think she is a female, that is what they told me at the petstore. Here are some pictures.

Let me know what you think.

 

 

 

 

What a cute pie Don't you love it when they give in! I have no idea about gender, but she's beautiful.

Thank you, I was shocked myself. She is small compared to Casper & Jasper. I am not sure how old she is, how old are they when they start losing the rings on their head?

I am hoping to get her hand tamed, having a hard time with Casper & Jasper.

Shes adorable! Does the pied spot mean shes dominant pied....orrrr? Ive always wondered that? Or does it mean that if bred to pied, shell have pied babies???

I believe they're 3-4 months old when they go through their first molt and lose the stripes.

sorry all scrappy has to go back :cry , something is wrong, when she came to the front of the cage, her private area was red and really swollen, not sure if it is an infectio or if a male got ahold of her.

what a pretty girl

That's too bad She was being quarantined from your other birds, right? Let us know what happens.

Yes, most definately.

 

They took her back and looked at the other 3 that were in the same cage and all of them had the same infection, they are going to send them to a vet and have them treated, they gave me my money back.
