My new bird.....CAPE CAPE

[entrancedbymyGCC]

They tend to do that with Capes for some reason.

My understanding is that there is or was a feeling that hand-raised males were too "wimpy" to successfully breed in captivity. No idea if that is really true, but it may be a holdover from the early days when they were trying to figure out how to get them breeding well.

I was told the bird was raised by parents because all the man power goes to raise the parrots that are more popular.
I just put him on the scale he weights 266g seems to be on the smaller size, is he a Poicephalus fuscicollis fuscicollis? People told me that the Poicephalus fuscicollis fuscicollis are smaller than Poicephalus fuscicollis suahelicus.

He looks a lot like Scotty and I'm pretty sure Scotty is fuscicollus. I'm looking forward to swapping stories with other new Cape owners!

Scotty is a cute bird, as you mentioned in the other post, he is 3 years old. "LOK GOD" is now around 1 year old but he doesn't have the orange at the wings and legs. People told me that they don't have the orange at wing and legs until they are fully mature.
