Hello everyone. I'm thinking of getting a parrotlet, but I'm not sure which kind. I'd prefer a bird that is less likely to bite a lot, so I've heard green rumps are a good choice - more docile and shy than the Pacifics. Then I read that spectacled are somewhere in between Pacifics and green rumps. I've also read that green rumps and/or spectacled may have health problems because of in-breeding due to the scarcity of this bird in the U.S.
If I went with a Pacific, are they known to tame down a bit so that they enjoy being handled and bond and don't bite all the time? Or are some of them just beasts through and through? I already have parakeets; my interest in parrotlets is that they have a reputation for being more affectionate.
Thank you very much.
