That is awesome!! Sounds like you have a wonderful breeder too! :dance4:
Well it was a team of two and they've both been pretty good :)
I really couldn't ask for more with how they've enriched Léa's life with different experiences :)

He hasn't specified...I can ask him the next time I'll be in contact with him

Agapornis in Eklektus najlepše papige

you can see pics of his pair there. Well, the good new is that Croatia will be entering EU in 2 years, so that's another reason I decided to wait a bit longer. Getting papers here and crossing the border with a parrot is excruciating and that is something I'd like to avoid if possible. :)

I would be interested in what he says - it's kinda hard just by looking at the pictures, but given how little red/coral the hen has on her head, it *could* be an indication of it being suahelicus.
But I'm really not sure.

Knowing what I know now as opposed to when I got 2 out of 3 of my birds I would be super critical of a breeder I chose. Mango's breeder was a small breeder but she was awesome. I drove 5 hours each way to pick her up and would get another bird from her in a heartbeat.

It doesn't have to mean anything...unfortunately, because he got his pair very young and this pics were taken a while back. So it could be due to the hens youth...I really can't say. I will be in contact with him again in fall

Given how little choice there are here for Cape breeders, I'm very happy I was able to find good breeders. There's another I would have been willing to get a baby from, but she wasn't expecting any soon.
Getting Léa will be a 4-5 hour round trip car travel, but it's worth it. I'm sure the second half will be more entertaining ;)

Which subspecies does this breeder have?

Suahelicus too I believe.
I think all three in Canada that I know of have the suahelicus subspecies.

I just love that coy little pose on the stairs thing she did! She looks like a very gentle Poi...she had better be with a hunking big beak like that! Gorgeous Bird!

Nope...none that I know off, but in Slovenia ( a neighbor country) there is one and a really good one. It's not that far from where I live, because I live very close to Slovenia- Croatia border. It was a decision between a Jardine and a Cape and Cape won. :D
Iskra ... I had no idea you lived so close to Slovenia ... I married into a Slovenian family and a lot of my in-laws were born there ... well it was the former Yugoslavia when they migrated to Canada. My last name Zver is apparently a popular name over there.

It is :) I live 10 minutes from the border in a city Samobor. :)
