    Anyone have a Parrotlet?

    Hubby and I want a bird for inside. I've been looking at parrotlets. We need something that's not very noisy, and I'd LIKE to have something friendly that I can handle and love on. From what I've read, parrotlets would be a good fit. They also are not incredibly expensive which is important...

    So I have a standard cochin rooster, Harvey, who is about 16 months old. I love him dearly...he is like a cartoon: big, fluffy, clumsy and silly, and for the most part a really sweet bird. I fell two weeks ago and broke my shoulder and tore my rotator cuff, so for the first time in my life...
