Just back from Cessnock with another pair of Purple Crowns ...very happy and very buggered so no photos

Good work deb!! How did the dogs go on the trip?

Very well behaved , they travel really well when they have their seat belt /harnesses on .
They are top little travellers , never really need a leash , do what they have to and back in the car ...love my little poochies .

Ben

This pair are back inside while the cold snap is about , didnt like the look of the girl yesterday ...today she is all good .

My pair of Purples were so tame and quite, parent raised. If I had to catch them by hand they would not struggle or bite at all. Such a nice bird. I found there was a surplus of hens for some reason. If you could find a breeder with them. Many times I contacted Lorry breeders asking about them only to be told "we dont keep them anymore" normally because of their low dollar value compared to other species of parrots.
I hope you are successful with them.

They are extremely friendly little birds , they dont bite when I catch them by hand and will sit on the food shelf while I change food dishes just chattering away at me .

Love their personalities . I cant go near the aviary with the hose without them following me waiting for a shower .

Dont know why they are hard to find , I suspect a lot of trading amongst established breeders .
