In Western Australia they are known as Twenty Eight Parrots yes...



I had a tame one that escaped from someone's place and it came down straight out of the tree when I offered it a bowl of sunflower seeds. ... He whistled PERFECTLY, "pop goes the weasel"... I rang a radio station 6 PR three months later and I found the owner BUT the very original owner also rang me and she was in her 80s and it was her husband (deceased) bird and he taught it Pop Goes the Weasel.

Yes they are beautiful alright and some have yellow chests not green chests...



In South Australia they are known as Port Lincoln Parrots and Australia wide, Ring-necks but that is just people trying to change their name.  They are seed eaters as well... and they love carrot sticks.

So, it's illegal to tame and make pets of native parrots?



It's illegal here to have native wild animals as pets here too, but I know some people do..



There was a farmer South West of Calgary that kept a two hundred pound male cougar as a pet.

I haven't heard it's illegal to keep our birds as pets.... and even if it was, I wouldn't "obey" the law.





I found a twenty eight parrot with a history... I found its owner 3 months later by ringing up a talkback radio station.





15 years ago, I wrote all these beautiful short stories about my birds, (I have heaps of great stories) to an MSN journal and the journal was taken off me... so now I don't put any effort into writing on sites.

Some birds are exempt from native species protection legislation...but they still should not be in cages.
