Welcome to our site......where you can explore life with a parrotlet !

This comprehensive site should not only help you decide if a parrotlet is right for you, but it should also give you all the information necessary to make an educated decision on whether one (or more) of these wonderful birds will fit into your household environment and your lifestyle. From species identification to finding a local breeder; from nutrition requirements to housing; all this and frequently asked questions by companion owners and novice breeders. If you already own a parrotlet, we want you to keep informed, spark ideas, and hopefully contribute your own experiences as others have.

Since this site is a collaborative effort of both companion owners and breeders, our goal was to provide you with everything you need to get started. We hope you utilize this information as you consider the purchase of a parrotlet --- whether for a companion pet or new breeding pair. Life with any bird can be fullfilling, rewarding, demanding, and even frustrating at times. Our sincere desire is to be sure you are up to the challenge.

As with most topics, there are various opinions and claims from proported experts. What we hope to accomplish with this site is to dispel the internet rumors and also to present pros and cons on the many factors related to owning a parrotlet. What is seen or works for one person may not always be seen or work for another --- no two situations are exactly the same. We will present both sides of the hot topics so that you can make a decision based on your own personal experience, desire, and situation. We have no self-proclaimed experts here.....only experienced companion owners and breeders that have the desire to share their knowledge, know what works for them, and more importantly, practice what they preach. Our concern lies in the future generation of parrotlets and our work lies with each owner.

Again, welcome to our site. New content will be added as often as possible so stop back again.
Take a look around and see for yourself why we love our birds!

Parrotlets are one of the smallest known parrots in the world. They make wonderful companions and have all of the same general characteristics as their larger counterparts. However, do not let their size fool you. Although they are a true parrot in a small body, they are capable of intense loyalty, love and friendship, intelligence, curiosity and energy. Parrotlets make the perfect apartment or condominium bird due to their smaller housing requirements and low noise level. They also make great first-time pets for adults. If they are provided with proper training, socialization, nutrition, and care, they can share their life with you for many, many years to come.
