Laurie,
I'm not saying that the Black-wing is not available as a pet. To
be more clear, they are less available and often times when this
occurs, the breeders try to sell to other breeders that deal with
that species in order to keep blood lines fresh and available.
The vibrance of the green in the Lesser is somewhat diffused on
the wing because of the black that is intermixed. In young
birds, the orange is not evident on the head or epaulets of the
wings until later after the first molt and as the bird matures.
My baby is for sale, but I'm not sure where you live as to
whether there would be shippign involved? Reason being, when
this baby is weaned, we will be into very cold weather where I
live (Pennsyslvania) and shipping may be out of the question?
I'll include my E-mail if you are interested in talking off the
board. Just click on the highlight at the top of this post.
