Re: Got a Brown Head baby!
Posted by Toby's Mom on 12/03/05

I don't own a brown headed parrot but our friend and bird
sitter owns a 12-year-old female brown headed parrot
named "Caper" and she is a true sweetie. She isn't a great
talker, although says the cutist "Howdy", but she loves to
whistle and is packed full of personality. A low-keyed bird
that loves to be handled and cuddled....no where near as loud
as our Mitred conure. We are always telling our friend to take
more trips so we can care for Caper when she is away. Also,
told her if for some reason she can no longer keep her sweet
bird we would take her in a flash!

Enjoy your new friend!
