Bourke Parrot (Neopsephotus bourkii)


Bourke Parrot
Neopsephotus bourkii


Sexing
The male has a small blue bar above its beak.

Noise
Low. They have a pleasant distinctive whistle.

General Care
I've had the Bourke only for a matter of days. I choose the breed because they are placid birds that can be housed with my Scarlet parrots. I have decided to go with the normal Bourke first  opposed to the Pink or Rosa Bourke.

Breeding
The pair I have now have had two breeding seasons with the previous owner, both times the female abandoned her eggs.
