Hi there. Congrats on the Blood parrot.

I know blood parrots will grow much bigger then a jellybean parrot and they usally start changing color at around 3 inches.... but some take longer then others.. most blood parrots become a vibrant orange color some are cream orange and other may become yellow or the rare purple...which is actually a deep orange red color. lol. Most blood parrots are fertile. I have 7 and some will have eggs but the males are sterile.

I hope that answers some of your questions.

Welcome to the boards. Michelle answered the questions pretty well.

Enjoy your blood parrot! I have 3 and I love the personalities they have. They can also get more beautiful fins and colors the older they get!

Thanks guys.

So are all males sterile??

And can they breed with a jellybean parrot?



Thanks again

Not all are sterile though they are said to be. Yes they can mate with the jelly beans. Slim chance of babies but they can breed.

They are not the same as non-dyed jellybean parrots. Jellybeans are usually white and smaller, blood parrots are bigger and are orange/red.. He/she should start to get some colour at about 4”. Male blood parrots are usually infertile but females are usually fertile. Jellybean parrots are fertile.

There is a difference between blood parrots and jellybean parrots. I think you know that though but jellybeans usually stay white while blood parrots get orange or red. But they can breed.
