#plum headed parakeet

LIVE

What’s the most beautiful parrot you’ve ever seen in person? For me, it has to be this guy, the plum headed parakeet. I’ve never seen a photo or a painting (including this one) that does justice to the eye-catching coloring of these guys, they are really something else. That purple head is so vibrant Fun fact, when we got Cricket, I actually wanted a plum headed parakeet. But Cricket made up his mind that he was coming home with us, so who were we to say no?
