I live in Florida My name is Laura	Hey everybody...how BIG are your parrotlets? With all the different information I've been reading, and checking out pictures and videos, and talking to breeders, I am getting some wildly different ideas about this, far enough apart that I don't think "individual difference" is gonna cover it. The species information I've looked up said 5 inches long, which I figure is about the size of a lovebird (but maybe less chunky?). I've seen some images that seem to back that up, but the most recent breeder I spoke to had a whole cage-full right there at the time, and they were about the same size as our zebra fiches! They were fully feathered and out of the nest, but I suppose they could still have some growing to do...but I'm trying to get an accurate picture. It's not really a determining factor, I'd just like to know ahead of time what I should expect from a full-grown bird. Talked to hubby yesterday to make sure he was okay with it, he is but thinks I should also consider a cockatiel (one of my favorites but I had thought it would be to shrill for him). But either way we end up going, it looks like a birdie will be coming home soon! YAY! Laura :)
