Parotlets are awesome little birds. They are actual parrots and have all of the parrot attitude. They can speak just like a real parrot and have a very loving personality. I used to own 2 green parotlets a boy and a girl. I was going for trying to get them to breed, but no success. I ended up giving them to a friend of mine that was breeding several different species of birds and she was successful in breading them.
