[luvparrots]

Once again Dr. Flock, You're simply the best!!!! :kiss:

[skmunson]

If you don't mind, what is the difference btwn. the amazon and the macaw? I've googled the pictures and some look just alike depending on coloring. Thanks.

[Tigerlily]

hmmmm are you sure you're looking at the right pictures?

macaws are very big with very long tails

amazons are about the same size and build as a grey but mostly green

[skmunson]

Okay, that's what I thought. Maybe they were just mixing pictures of different parrots. Thanks

[Tycos_mom]

I will show you the difference.
Fergie is a Yellow crowned Amazon


Jeepers is a Severe Macaw

[Moobu]

I've also seen keets called budgies a lot. Maybe this is more of a European nickname?

[MarcusCAG]

I didn't see any abbreviations for Quaker parrots/Monk parakeets. Beaker might get upset if he notices.

Otherwise, thanks for the nifty list!

[Barbara2]

Sennie=Senegal was not on the list either.

[skyyblues]
