OK, What the heck is this?

The GCCs are cheaper there than here now. Black 'Toos are extremely rare here and I have never seen one in person, although I would dearly love to.

I would imagine some of the 'Toos here might fetch about the same price as a Hyacinth like the black 'Toos and maybe the Major Mitchells.

I know Greys are pretty high there. We had a member here who wanted to buy one very badly but it was $5000. Here it would be more like $900-1200 for a Congo.

Definitely a CBC and I just brought home a baby one 5 days ago This little boy is sooo mellow and sweet, the vet and asst kept saying what a doll he was. He said he'd never handled such a easy conure.

So, what do you think it is, Luna? A Painted?

Hi, Roxy-------- now that you've called me I have to show. I think I've posted a photo before this post (keep in mind I'm illeterate on these sites) and I could not seem to get them open to gather. Yes I think a red bellied could photograph in the manner of the photo we are discussing. I put the photos on adjoining monitors and note the following:- The known bird has white on beak next to nares. A patch with lutinin on cheek. Grey neck feathers that with slightly less melinin or a very oblique angle would repodues very little grey or be white. red that is visible behind the thumb area of the wing. And a some similar blue pattern. Also the lutinin in the wing might vary also changing the blue green appearence. D.D.

Thank you! I should have looked online. Those are better photos than the ones in my books. They are both gorgeous birds. I suppose those books are quite old now, and with the nice, digital photography we have now, the online photos are so much better. So is my computer monitor for that matter.

Your welcome. I would love the Painted Conure but they are still very expensive over here.

I'm not sure what they cost here, but they aren't common. I know they are much more common than the Queen of Bavaria, but I've never seen one in person.
