Red-Capped Parrots are also known as Western King Parrots
They come from a very small pocket in Western Australia they damage farmers crops and are trapped and killed as Agriculture pests.
All our breeders have been aviary bred and hand raised while they are no longer tame they are very quiet and will still take food from your hand
While you can quite freely buy then direct from Western Australia 99% of them are wild trapped birds that are extremely flighty and most don’t live long in captivity.
The best way to obtain a pair of them is from a reputable breeder that has hand raised and Sexed them as even aviary bred birds that are not hand raised are still naturally flightily.
We have 4 completely unrelated blood lines in this species.
