 RF> fetures.. and if it is able to be trained to talk?Please let me know
The Red Rump is of the parakeet family. It is about the size of a cockatiel
and they have a pleasant song. I would venture to say, if the bird is well 
cared for, that it could live to be 20. They can be sexed visually for the 
female is green and the male is more colorful. (I can't remember the exact 
coloring.)
Like all of the parakeet family they are ground feeders and fast fliers. It 
is 
best to keep them in a larger cage. They can probably be taught to speak, but 
it is up to the bird if it wants to.
Is the bird handfed or parent raised?
