I think someone's falling in love!

I feel for you with your husband, though. Scotty and Bill are getting to be better and better friends, but it is hard for him not to feel a little rejected, especially when occasionally something sets Scotty off and he bites him for no apparent reason. On top of it, I'm sure Scotty'd be trying to FEED me if I let him. I guess kids can do the same thing to a relationship... I know sometimes I almost feel guilty, 'cause I like the bird and he likes me and Bill would like him to like him more...

Some subspecies of Meyer's have some yellow on their forehead - some have more than others - while some don't.
Same can be said about the amount of yellow on their shoulders.

I have one who clearly has more on it's head than the other. That same one also has more a blue-ish belly and the other is greener.


The Meyers subspecies are as follows:

•Poicephalus meyeri meyeri – yellow on the head, turquoise/blue belly
•Poicephalus meyeri saturatus – yellow on the head, green belly
•Poicephalus meyeri matschiei – yellow on the head, bright blue belly
•Poicephalus meyeri reichenowi – dark head, turquoise belly
•Poicephalus meyeri damarensis – dark head, turquoise belly
•Poicephalus meyeri trasvaalensis – yellow on the head, greenish belly

I'm pretty certain that Kylie is a Meyeri Saturatus.
