Buff-faced Pygmy Parrot

[stephend]

Are there any breeders of buff-faced pygmy parrots, and if so are any of the driving distance from Denver, Colorado? These appear to be beautiful animals and I would love to have a hand fed one to compliment Bob.

Wow, what an interesting little creature...they sure are tiny....have you done a lot of reading about them? I came across this article and thought you might find it interesting.
Pygmy Parrots: Information and Photos

I don't think you will be finding one to adopt....It sounds like they would be impossible to keep as a pet for the time being anyway and could you imagine if it were to get sick...I don't think a vet would know what to do with it. Again, wow, what a neat little and I do mean LITTLE species....here is another link with video ...hope you haven't seen this one yet...
I am curious how you even heard of these little critters...

Thanks for the info, that explains why I couldn't find a breeder.
