They are supposed to be quiet except during breeding & I like that...

Is a Greater Vasa Parrot the Right Pet Bird for Yo...


500 grams is a pretty big bird...not macaw or too big but bigger than med size.

Hawkheads are about 250 g so halfish wt////
Java is currently 429 grams and he still has about 100 grams to go. I'm not sure when his breeding season is, as the Internet says August - December, but my vet says May-July, and the breeder I got him from says later in the summer. As of now, he's molting, so I don't think he's in breeding season, but he chatters nonstop.

Breeding season may be more temperature/ light cycle related.

Most likely he is captive bred & never seen his island.

Interesting note about there private parts!!!

Yeah, he is closed banded, and I'm hoping he keeps his little "bird part" retracted. I'd hate for him to get it caught on something. I'm still trying to trace his exact age because his band doesn't have that information. The breeder is supposed to get back with me since she knows Java's original breeder.

Was reading the females are more agressive of the species but that might just be during breeding...

I heard they sound like cats too/.

He gets considerably louder when I leave the room and don't answer his contact call in a timely fashion . . . or give the cat attention in front of him.
