A rare Amazon parrot hatched at the Houston Zoo earlier this summer, and now we're getting our first look at the adorable little bird.
Species accounts for all the birds of the world.
While they're a rare sight in captivity, the Blue Throated Conure has a wonderful personality and an affectionate nature, which makes them great pets.
Small manakin found in cloud forest along the east slope of the Andes. Male is black with a white crown and blue rump; rump is paler in the southernmost part of its range. Female is mostly green but a bit yellower on face and belly. Apart from his blue rump, which is not always conspicuous, male is quite similar to male White-crowned Manakin. Female is very similar to female Blue-crowned Manakin but is yellower on the face. Usually found alone, but several may congregate at a fruiting tree. Calls include an inflected chirp and a high-pitched, rising “see?.”
With their charming looks, talking abilities and fun, intelligent persona, Indian Ringneck Parakeet can make a wonderful family pet.
