| Fern, the Parrotlet... A couple people have recently asked about Fern, my Parrotlet, so I decided to take some pictures of her. Here she is! I'd love to get a second one but worry about them not getting along and noise level. Does anyone else have a Parrotlet?

Therapy Dog Donating Member | Oh Kyle I love Fern..she is soooo pretty. I miss my Eclectus male so much but know that he is with a good friend of mine in sunny and humid Georgia! People who have never had birds can't even imagine that a small, itty, bitty thing like that can be sooooo much work. I think more than a Yorkie that's for sure!

I know- birds are so much work! She is- no doubt- the loudest and messiest. Her stuff (food, toys, etc.) are way more expensive than cat and dog stuff.

| Kyle I just adore Fern, you were the person that taught me about parrotlet's! I remember the first time I saw a picture of her I thought she was the most beautiful love bird I had ever seen! Now she is the most beautiful Parrotlet I have ever seen! I still have my stinker Feathers the Cockatiel, he is loud and full of himself! I recently got him a new toy, it's hanging acrylic letters spelling bad boy! I'll have to take a picture of it when I get home.

| Im a dork. What is the dfifference between a parrot and a Parrotlet? Fern is beautiful. I have never owned a bird. They seem so fragile with their tiny feet.

| Haha, occasionally she does! She went through a nippy stage when she was younger now but it still sometimes happens. She's never broken the skin or anything.

| A Parrotlet is a type of parrot. Cockatiels, lovebirds, macaws, parakeets, etc. are all types of parrots.

| My mother-in-law has a parrotlet that looks a lot like fern. It's a little blurry, but here's his picture! His name is Teddy. My husband and I also have an African Grey named Sam. |
