Bird of the Week: Rico the Cherry Headed Conure

Wednesday September 3, 2008
After watching "The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill", Janet had her heart set on finding a Cherry Headed Conure. After months and months of searching for a breeder, however, she gave up hope on finding one of these funny little birds to call her own. That is, until her luck turned around and she met Rico, a then 6 year old male Cherry Headed Conure in desperate need of a loving home. Read more about his story in this week's featured profile on Rico the Cherry Headed Conure. You'll fall head over heels for this little feathered clown!

Don't forget, your bird could be the next "Bird of the Week". Check out these easy submission guidelines to find out how!
