One of my bourkes parrots, this is an old photo. We haven’t seen her for a while becuase she is in her nest at the moment with some eggs 💕

Making sure I’m in the right place.
So my fiancé and I are about to adopt a 1.5 year old Mulga, which I’m fairly certain qualifies as a grass parrot.
We’re just looking for good resources for our new bird about diet, care, etc, especially where these differ from regular parrots/parakeets etc.
Anything is helpful. We’re completely new to owning birds and want to give this little guy the best life we can. Any and all tips are appreciated.

Rhubarb be nimble, Rhubarb be quick, Rhubarb pivots to miss the blooming pear stick because it is new and therefore anathema to him.

This is Eva. Her first owners botched a wing clip so now her wings don't work :(

Pay attention: the giant beak gives this one away but if you tried to turn this Eucalyptus Parrot into guac you're in for a shock.

On the right: a macaw, very cute extra cuddly and colorful. On the left: some kind of bird, not an avocado with a fake beak glued on top

New Red Rump
Hi, I recently bought a Red Rump Parrot but am not sure if the care for it is. He is hand tamed and the pet store owner let me know their diet is similar to cockatiels. While searching for information online I read an article that said they are prone to getting roundworm and that I will need to see an avian vet every few months to get it treated. Does anyone know if this is true? Any advice is appreciated!

Oh hi, I'm just being a normal grass parrot, not in the middle of any major scheming. Nope just cute stuff, nothing nefarious or criminal going on here.

This 8 week old delinquent has been known to melt stone with his stare of abject happiness. You've been warned.
