-> speacial
->  RF> fetures.. and if it is able to be trained to talk?Please let me
->
-> The Red Rump is of the parakeet family. It is about the size of a coc
-> and they have a pleasant song. I would venture to say, if the bird is
-> 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?
