Do you have any other pictures? She almost looks like a sort of rosella parrot mutation, but I am not sure by the picture.

They're australian parrots, look her up You might find a similar parrot.

 

[parrotqueen]

It is either a mutation of green rosella, eastern, or western rosella. I am certain that it is a rosella or even some sort of parakeet.

By the way, beautiful bird!

Where do you live? I think I've seen another picture of a bird similar to yours that is common in Australian. I wish I could remember what it was...

 

[parrotqueen]

Rosellas don't talk very well, nor very often. I won't say it's impossible, just work really hard with her.

The bird you have is a Lutino Indian Ringneck. It's quite beautiful. Let us know if we can help you further.

Sorry ... none of the above (or below depending on how you have your forum settings).

This is a lutino red-fronted kakariki.

Kakarikis

I've never heard of a Kakariki! Learn something new every day! <3

Not sure what bird it is, but it sure is a beauty.
Sure some other members will assist, if not keep searching the net, etc
Enjoy your birdie time !!!!

Thanks, AD! I was almost convinced that it was a rosella. I don't happen to know a lot about rosellas though.

Definitely a Kakariki.

well you are right it is a kakarikis...thanks a lot my frd..same look and color...and thnks for the urls coz they are rly useful!

 

[justwingingit]

I had no idea. Based on the picture, I was sure it was a Lutino Indian Ringneck with the beak and color. I guess the picture didn't come through very well for me. I think it is neat to have unusual birds. I just had someone bring me a B&G that used to be at Disney and she had a (if I remember correctly) a mouse bird. It was the cutest thing. Has anyone else ever heard of these? I guess there aren't many around.

 

[parrotqueen]

I actually know a lot about mousebirds! I wanted one a long time ago, until I found out that they're usually about 300 bucks or more. They are so sweet, they love to cuddle. I'd like to share a video with you guys, showing just how much they love to cuddle.

Just precious.

 

[antoinette]

LoL they sure are so cute small and cuddly (wish I could have another bird)
Thanks for sharing

 

[parrotqueen]

If my life permitted me, I'd have an aviary full of hand-raised birds. They could totally become my hobby.
Lol, I wish!

By the way it's sitting I'll bet it's a girl.
