The Meyers Parrot is a little known gem. I have always wanted one but I promised myself I would get no more birds, especially those that have a longer life expectancy. I had a chance to interact with one that just happened to be in the Petco store. Oh my goodness it took all my willpower to say no.
They have a brown head, green body color and the tail/wing feathers have spectacular coloring. They are rather quiet and will talk if taught. Does any one here have a Meyers?

I was thinking it may be nice to post a monthly feature article on one species of parrot. The little known ones that are sometimes pets may be educational. What do you think?
