its a lovely sized and original coloration... are you amerikan? coz over that way there all coloured

 

[diburning]

I'm american lol. They are almost all colored here.

There are some here called "purple" (not dyed) and they kind of have an acara color.

 

[kubora666]

nice! if they arent altered they could possibly be kongs? i know they come in some very natural looking coloures. even here in the uk the died ones are just starting to become common every now and agen. but all the bp's i own are original orange/pink colouring, alot like yours. blood parrots can be as rare as hens teeth round here lol

 

[jasonskillz]

yes its true all the parrots in the US are that color
all of them that are that color are never dyed
you can tell because it would be tattoo, the spot kind or the all green, neon pink and etc
no they are not kk, around there they are worth 80+usd
i want a kk parrot dam it, if i knew about them before i bought mine i probably would have bought one instead

 

[GuppyDude]

around there they are worth 80+usd

Hey Meepster,

Yeah, here in Texas they are all about that color, except for the ones that they "tattoo" with, and I am not kidding ... "I love you" right on their side. Now, who wants to buy that fish I don't know. But, anyway your specimen their looks to be in right fine shape!! Enjoy.
