The hens do not have such a vivid blue on their nape. Blue napes tame the easiest out of all the species of mousebirds.

That bird reminds me of the bird on the Big Bang Theory re-run today, except it was all blue like a Blue Jay.. but had the same long tail.. So pretty!

hes so cute, how long do they live. i ask because, while i cant get one now, i would love one in the future. i almost got one, but i felt a parrot was a better fit for right now.

i'll have to check that out, i'd imagine they make great apartment birds because of the low noise level, if i could i'd get one in a heartbeat!
