Where are you located?

If you're stuck choosing between a yellow parrotlet and a Pacific, you're about to be pleasantly surprised - they're the same! Yellow is just a colour mutation of the nominate green Pacific.

We have a couple of Parrotlets who are looking for a home currently, if you were interested in a re-home!:)

I am located in New York. I have no problem re-homing as long as they are tamed. Yellows & greens have the same personalities?

Yea .. I know.

Have no clue if the OP is close, nor if they'd want to try rehomes, but I figured I'd ask.

Ok, nevermind .. lol ... NY is a bit far ... and the two I have, while not wild or mean at all, aren't truly "tame" either.

Yep, they are the same species. Only difference is colour.

Pacifics are a tad larger than green rumps. Green rumps are a deeper green and smaller. They don't have any blue on their rumps whereas pacifics will have blue within their wings and backs. Pacific males are more colorful with the cobalt blue. You can see my Pacific male in my sig picture, he's got incredible blue.

I live in NYC too. Have you ever been to Fauna? It is an amazing, amazing, amazing bird store in Manhattan. It's on 87th between Broadway and West End. They often have parrotlets and are extremely knowledgeable about birds and other exotic pets.

Here is their website:

Here is their Facebook:

And here is the virtual tour I did of Fauna. These pictures don't do the store justice though. It is the best bird store in Manhattan by a mile. By ten miles.

Let me know if you end up going! Maybe you will see me there.
