Is Oliver 400 grams because he could be a ...

[Nikki]

Silver-Headed Parrot or is it because...

of His Love of Nuts?

We may never know.

Hmm..the feathers on his neck do seem rather grey-ish

If he does turn out to be a Grey-headed parrot, then I'd be getting one in the same family

 

[Nikki]

That will be so fun! I wonder how many of us at AA are related to each other by our birds?

 

[MarleysMom]

I love that first picture!

 

[Nikki]

Thanks Debbie! He is such a good little trooper, I think I took about 80 pictures and he just stood looking cute!

 

[mrstweet]

Love the first pic too!

I think this would be a broader link

But...I am "related" to lzver (Laura) because of our Red-bellies! Joey and Pixel are siblings to her Lucy! Pixel is the oldest, then Joey, then Lucy. All a few months apart!

 

[Nikki]

I am related to Stephanie because Olivia is Oliver's little sister.

 

[Alex]

Hmmmm idk, his head is really grey...but he sure loves his nuts!! and I guess thats the most important!

 

[Nikki]

Alex, he can really pack those nuts away, that is for sure! He loves shelled almonds and picks them over anything else.

What's Olivia's weight? I guess I'll have to way for Stephanie to come around.
If Olivia is in the high 300g, that could be another step in confirming Grey-head versus Brown-necked, although Lola is a Brown-necked who is on the big side without being fat

 

[kcbee]

I think it's a combination of both! What a cute boy on the scale! He looks so proud of himself

The other day Stephanie told me Oliva is 266g, she is also a few months younger then Oliver.

 

[Saemma]

Oliver is one handsome Cape. Being such a heavy weight, he may very well be a grey head cape!

 

[Nikki]

Thanks Kacy & Saemma! He is on his desk shelling nuts as we speak!

 

[Anne & Gang]

he is so beautiful, I can pack the nuts away too but I weigh more than 400 grams...(don't tell)

 

[lotus15]

Judging by Olivia, I'd be really, really surprised if Oliver were a Grey-Headed. I am 100% sure, however, that he's handsome-headed

You beat me to it Natacha! Are there any others on the board that have birds that are related?

Nikki, who's your breeder, is it Scott? He would definitely know. Breeders usually know the species and subspecies of birds they breed and you can ask them to get a better idea.
