Field Notes

Description:

100% spoiled rotten BRAT! Lol. Deep green with yellow crescent on back of neck. Flight feathers turquoise blue, tail feathers maroon blending to tuquoise at the ends. Head has a black cap. About 16" long.

Not great talkers, but are very clever. Buster is female, 19 years old, and is definitely a one-person bird. Tolerates hubby, detests my daughter (she is 9.)

Habitat:

Native to Peru, I believe. Mine is captive-bred and banded as such.
