Often referred to as a "Cartoon Parrot".
Their requirements are different from most pet parrots commonly kept. They need to fly and exercise often. Like their bodies, their minds also work very fast. They are not complex, but simple and direct. Consideration is not the word for them, but action is!
Matching to their high activity level, they eat like piglets. Then they scatter food to the cage bottom and scavenge as if they had never seen it before. They climb cage bars up and down without using their beaks. Roof walking upside down in a bat manner is another way of exercise. Anything they can reach from their cages with their long legs would be pulled in and examined. Once they reach adolescence, hens show a strong urge to chew, and cocks protect their territories - cages- fearlessly. Once outside, they never sit still on your shoulder nor on a playgym neither. There is always something to discover and something to investigate in the house: under furniture, inside fridge!, in larder cupboards, or on shelves. They scamper around the house with a pit pat sound which is rather loud for their size. Forget about a relaxing time with a cup of tea while they are out. They will fly to your cup and try the tea even before you have a sip.
They are quiet, intelligent, non-destructive, beautiful and absolutely comical. Males can also talk very clearly. It is like a life with hyper cartoon characters. They brighten up our life by their constant antics and energetic personalities. It is difficult to be depressed when they are around. But their real charm is their trusting nature.
