Cecil
is a tremendous joy to have around. He is everything I ever wanted
in a bird. He is playful, loving, feisty, very friendly and packed full
of personality. Cecil is only about five months old and can already say
several words and phrases. His favorite is to tell us he is "such a
pretty, pretty bird". Cecil weighs 26 grams (less than a slice of
bread!). He is a non-stop bundle of energy and he loves to play with his
toys. His favorite toy is the slinky in the picture. It is hanging in
his cage and he loves to bounce on it and climb through it.
Parrotlets are the smallest avian species and are related to the Amazon
parrots. People call them big parrots in a small body because they are
full of attitude and spunk. Parrotlets are also known as pocket parrots
because they are so small. Because they are so active, parrotlets
require a lot of food to support their energy level. Cecil eats lots of
fresh and dried vegetables, fruits and greens, cooked beans, pasta and
grains, as well as fresh seeds and pellets.
