Hi Rick:
     I don't know a lot about red rumps, but I can give you a starting
point at least. Red rumps are one of the Australian Parakeets. They are
long-tailed, slender birds, somewhat larger than a cockatiel. Most of the
Australian 'keets have a lifespan in the 20+ years range, so far as I
remember. I loaned out my species descriptions book so I can't look it up
for you. I would suggest that you try the library for a book or magazine
article on Australian parakeets.
 
Hope this helps!

Hello David, 
How are you?  Nice to see you on this echo.  I feed my feather kids 
kaytee rainbow chuncky pellets.  Mikeee will sing "I'm a pretty bird"
as he is eating the big orange pellet.  
I also stress other foods good for our kids, as each day they get a cup
of sprouts I grow from beans, peas, etc.  I get them from Howard Voren.
I have my kids soooo spoil as Howard, Liz and Bob have taught me how
to do it soooo well. smile
Howard has a Breeders Choice which I use for my kids that are giving
me babies.  I, each day do give my kids the Greens Pluss.
How are your feather kids?
Cherane, CAS
