Colorful, charming, and intelligent, Parrotlets have become increasingly popular pets in recent years. Their small size and quiet nature make them an ideal choice for people who live in apartments or condos.
Nicknamed "Pocket Parrots" in the pet trade, these tiny birds are in fact the smallest members of the parrot family, and are just as intelligent as many larger species. Some learn to talk quite well, although the species is not especially noted for talking ability.
Learn more about these beloved little birds in this Pacific Parrotlet profile. You may decide that a Parrotlet is the perfect bird for you.

Can anyone tell me where I can go in my area to see and/or acquire a parrotlet? I live on Long Island in New York and live in a townhouse.
Thanks for any help you can pass along!

Thank you Alyson for the honor of having one of our beautiful blue girls featured in your article!
Louise- Hello! If you would like to send me an email from our website http://www.littletweet.com, I would be glad to give you a listing of a few parrotlet breeders that are located in the NY area.
Parrotlets are wonderful companion birds that are perfect for apartments/townhouses where noise may be a factor. They are tiny little birds with a huge personality! The saying about parrotlets is – ‘They are like potato chips! You can’t have just one!’

Are these birds taken from the wild or are there breeders in the US?
Hi Kim,
There are breeders in the US. We are one of them. It is illegal to take them from the wild and import them into the US. Many states require breeders to be licensed by the Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission.
