Red Rumps as Pets?

[alexinatreena]

Hi all!

I came across Red Rumps Parrots/Parakeets a couple of months ago and was stunned by their beauty (I have 2 breeding pairs of budgies).

After my best friend and beloved budgie I bred who thought she was a human passed away almost a month ago, I thought of getting a Red Rump parakeet as I heard they were hardier birds (I don't want to go through another pet bird death anytime again soon).

I have the opportunity to purchase a hand-reared Red Rump Parakeet and I was just wondering if they make good (tame) pets, and what their personalities are like (I want to get a male as their colours are more vibrant) and I was wondering if they talk (it really doesnt make a difference whether they do or dont - just wondering)

Also, if you own a tame, pet, Red Rump some stories about yours or what it can do, what it likes to do, etc. - Just an opportunity to share some things about (and share the joys of) your pet Red Rump.

Thanks so much for your time!

they can make alright pets just go and look at it first to see if it quiet and tame, most people say they don't make good pets but one of my mates has 2 hand raised ones as pets and they are great but they do need a lot of attention to keep them quiet. i haven' herd of them talking.
