| Congratulations Jeanne,
I am sure your Taco will be pleasure to you. It is nice to see you took
the time to ask a lot of questions and do a lot of research, before
your purchase. I did similiar in that I had Budgies and looked around
for 2 years before getting my Amazon(Joker).

| Congrats Jeanne!
You got a nice little bird! I just purchased one myself (Maximillion)
Although he is not a hand fed baby, he is so lovable! They are quite
easy to tame - even the imports.
Keep us updated on his project. You have made a wise choice!
Best of luck!
REgards,
Denise

| Update on baby Taco
Well, Taco is now 15 weeks old and almost weaned. We are down to one
feeding in the evening which he is now loosing interest in. He loves
his pellets and fresh veggies. Not to crazy about fruit but just
adores carrots. His beak and feet are always stained orange.
He is now loosing his baby squawk (thank goodness) and is turning out
to be a very quiet bird. Just makes little grunts and moans now and
then. I've noticed that he is paying more attention to me when I talk
to him now and he loves to hear whistles. He may end up being more of
a whistler than a talker (that's OK with me)
Taco loves to play "cuddles". I scratch his head, neck and face while
he nibbles on my fingers and make "ahhhh" noises. He's sooooo cute.
From what I have seen, I would highly recommend a Pionus for a pet.
I'm glad I took the time to learn about them and I'm glad to know that
they are gaining popularity. Please excuse by bias, but I suppose
that's what proud moms do best!
Denise, how is your Maximillion doing?

| 597.5 | Difference?? | DNEAST::CHIMERA_DON | | Thu Oct 10 1991 15:49 | 2 |
| Hi Jeanne, I am curious as to the reasons that made you decide on the
white-fronted rather than the blue_head?

| 597.6 | Pronounciation? | SHALOT::TAYLOR | Liver long and prostate - 393-7368 | Fri Oct 11 1991 09:30 | 3 |
| Can anyone supply a phonetic spelling of Pionus?
Thanks

| 597.7 | Differences were very slight. | SALSA::DEFRANCO | | Tue Oct 15 1991 16:58 | 25 |
| re .5
After speaking with several breeders, it seemed the general concensus
was that all the Pionus were wonderful, gentle, quiet birds but that
the blue head was most prone to being overly shy. Also, it seemed that
most breeders described their white caps as being clownish and more
active than some of the other varieties.
All in all, I wanted a quiet bird but then again I did want it to have
"some" life and silly attitude about it. So far I'm pleased with the
white cap.
All of the differences I've described are subtle and if you prefered
the look of a blue head over a white cap, I would certainly go with the
blue head and not feel short changed in any way.
Jeanne
P.S. I saw a young blue head for sale at the bird show in Tucson last
week and she was just beautiful!!!! It made me have second thoughts! Also
saw a "dusky" Pionus and he was equally as gorgeous.
I must admit though, of all the Pionus that I saw at the show, the
white caps where the most active (playing, eating, etc..)
