Does anyone have one? I would like to hear from you and get first hand information about them.

I had a pair of Princess Parrots (they now live with my mother). Despite being avairy birds, they come inside all the time and climb all over us. As well as explore and fly around everywhere inside.

My mom has one. Patches is a handfed 10 year old boy. Even being handfed/hand raised, he has a definite limit to his tameness as is typical of the grass parakeets. He will step up for my mom, will come to me when I visit to talk to me, but definitely no touching.

Patches talks pretty well, which surprised me, since POW are usually an "aviary bird" species. He is really active and loves playing with toys and running around on the floor. Since grass parakeets including POW are made for being ground birds, unlike most parrots they can run very fast! His feet are a blur when he's running on the ground lol.

I agree with them not being too keen on touching... but otherwise they are great birds

Well I knew nothing till I started reading looking and asking. Turns out the craigslist ad was fake. I dont really need another fid right now anyway.
