It's great to have a new forum just for parrots and just in time......Last month, we adopted a regent parrot (aka rock pebbler) named Tilly. She is a colorful medium-sized parrot and usually very easy to get along with. She doesn't talk (other than a barking sound and wolf whistle) or do any tricks, but is pretty much a calm and contented bird (except for a bite or two every now and then). She likes to sit on top of her cage or on the door of the cage and she loves just about any fruit or veggie that you give her. Sometimes she will sit on my shoulder or even on the top of my head. Tilly is the parrot in my avatar. Anyone else out there with a regent parrot?
We now have 9 birds (7 budgies, 1 'tiel and Tilly). What was I thinking??
*****Note: You can see more photos of Tilly in a post further down in this thread.*****
Thanks for the welcome. It really is a lot of hard work taking care of this many birds. Some people have more than this....I just don't know how they do it. I hope I have learned to say NO to those who are giving their birds away. I really wish people would stay committed to their birds instead of getting tired of them.
Sounds like you have a great flock. Yes I could not stop at one, two or three. I have 4 budgies and must commit to "No I will not get another bird" before my roommate lets me go into the bird store. LOL
Welcome and congrats on your new addition! I don't think there are many regent parrots here in the states, I've heard of them but never seen one in person. Beautiful birds however! Can't wait to meet the rest of your flock!

Here are some more pictures of Tilly, the regent parrot (rock pebbler). We purchased the cage that she is on from an ad in the newspaper.....for only $25!!! It is a wonderful cage.
