Of course they are cute and playful its just the face parrots just look so much like a stuffed animal toy they also look like they want to cuddle all the time.

Oh, I don't know, I have seen some ugly animals before. I have seen animals that are so ugly that they are actually sort of cute and that is a whole lot of ugly. But then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Apparently I selected a ringneck with barely any feathers out of all the ones available as a child....my mom was shocked when I brought the ugliest thing home. He grew up, of course.

And the reason I got a GCC instead of a peach fronted conure was because my mom insisted that pfcs are ugly and gccs are the opposite. I feel the opposite way. When I get Fajr a friend, I will be doing my best to find a PFC. Though the odds are against me, honestly.

Peach fronted conures are lovely all parrots are theres no such thing as a ugly parrot but something like a naked mole rat is ugly and parrots are nothing compared to that.Parrots have adorable faces some look like they have big cartoon eyes.

I don't think that a naked mole rat is ugly. I think they are cute with their wrinkled skin and little hands... they look like newborn babies!
