The Green Rumped Parrotlet aka
Deliciosus
is among the smallest of the Parrotlets. The males are mainly bright emerald green. The rump is green although certain subspecies may have pale blue on the rump. The wings have a shade of violet-blue. Females are entirely green with yellow to yellow-green on the forehead. Beak and feet are a pinkish horn color. Green Rump Parrotlets are more shy and gentle than Pacific.
Green Rumps can be frightened by new things and may take a few days to settle into their new surroundings and begin eating a wide variety of foods. But once acclimated, they possess just as much personality as the Pacific parrotlet. Green Rumps sweet, gentle personalities make them good birds for children.
