Only 1 half decent one, very shy indeed...

And here is one of them guarding the eggs - told you they were shy

 

[silver]

Awwwwww....they are shy LSD!!! Hmmmm...........I wonder what's up with them??


Well, here is some photos of my 2 Blood Parrots.....the first tenZILLION are of Polly my older BP and the very first shot is of his coloring when I first got him:

Here is Polly with the "new baby" when I got him....his name is Baby Polly...how original, eh??

\/ Here is Baby Polly a few weeks after getting him, notice his coloring below compared to the few above. The brown is fading...and NO HE WASN'T DYED!!!! How can you NOT just DIE over this cute little face

Alright silver, (and pardon this quick hijacking), you get to ask me betta questions, so now is my time for a question for you about blood parrots. Do they always start out brown and go that bright orange? Because I rarely see any brightly colored ones in the stores, they're always brownish.

 

[silver]

Alright Julie.......

Yes, most of the time they start out darker and then as they grow they develop their colors, much as bettas would

They can become Peach, Orange, Red or even stay splotchy and apparentley their are some creamy colored ones too..... As they get older, 4 + years, they get more pinky for the most part


Edit > BUT, if you are looking for a NON-DYED Parrot then you should be looking for a young black, brown, gray or mixture of the three colors...but that doesn't go to say that ALL parrots are dark. My Baby Polly had a TAD bit of orange coloring to him when I first got him, like in his throat area if you can tell, so I new he was gonna be orange. I can't wait to get more recent pictures of the little devil so you can see just how orange he is now. There is only a bit of brown along his head and spine!!
