I really liked the Amazons I raised! They are really cool birds. Just not apartment birds...

The ranks are based on major categories of parrots that contain 5 or more species. Caique is hardly a category. It merely compromises two species: Black Capped Parrot and White Bellied Parrot.

yeah, I understand why caiques wouldn't be on there =) but this raises the question, why are African Greys a rank? though I suppose they are rather famous beyond just the parrot world....

Ooh snap, she went there!!!! A Galileo rank would be fabulous; it should, in fact, be CALLED "Galileo", too, and be in pink font so everyone knows she's a girl. :caique: Furthermore, I demand no less than %75 of all royalties if and when this site goes viral and gets bought out by Animal Planet. If you need me, I will be in my...um...room. With the lights off. So I don't wake the baby or Cloud... My dramatic dissing sequence is long gone, isn't it?
