He has no fears whatever, is amazingly friendly and nothing seems to scare him. He loves flying into the kitchen sink and getting a warm bath with the tap as a waterfall. He stands his ground with Taylor and if he was with me more longer, would be taking a ride on Taylor's back. Taylor is jealous of the attention paid to the visitor. He just wants a fair go. The owner, a young guy, won't know for around 12 months or so if Zinz is a male or female - it depends on the ring. If there is a red ring appearing around his neck, then he is a guy and should be able to talk well otherwise Zinz will be a cute girl.
Might get one myself from the same breeder now that we have a large empty parrot's cage. Taylor will........ eventually........ be pleasesd.

That's really cool that Taylor got to meet a parrot. My boyfriend's parents have 3 parrots, a Blue and Gold Macaw, a Green Wing Macaw, and an African Grey. His younger brother has a Conure. They are such amazing creatures. The Blue and Gold and the African Grey talk like crazy and the Green Wing talks a little, but he is younger than the others. The Blue and Gold reminds me of how a dog would act sometimes. She lays on her back and likes her tummy rubbed and loves to be petted and scratched. What do you mean Zinz will only be able to talk if he is male though? I thought that both sexes could talk. I know the Blue and Gold is female and she talks up a storm.
