Hello, everyone,
     I have just acquired a pair of Plum Heads (male and female) and would
appreciate any advice on caring for them.
     They are banded adults, at least 6 years old.  They appear to be in 
good health, despite less than ideal care from their previous owner.
     They were quite calm, though interested, when I viewed them, and will
be delivered to my place in the next couple of days.
     Their previous owner kept them in a wire cage of about 3 cu. ft. 
volume. She apparently fed them mixed seed only.  If I keep them (I may 
pass them on to a fine local breeding aviary) I intend to make a larger 
cage, about 2 x 3 x 3 ft., and s-l-o-w-l-y start supplementing their seed 
diet with fruit, bugs, bread and milk, and perhaps veggies- see what 
they like.  (These suggestions from Low's book).  
     Your suggestions would be much appreciated.  By the way, this is
one of the most information-dense echos I have had the pleasure of
tapping.
         Till later,
                        Holly
... ARRRRRGGGHHH!!!! ... Tension breaker, had to be done.
