IO've read a lot of that stuff online- I just wondered if anyone had any personal experience with them. Sometimes, that is more helpful than an faq because not all birds are alike. Thanks so much ofr those though - it all helps. She inherited two and they are beautiful but the person who gave them to her (someone had died in their family and they did not want them) did not know how to care for them and gave her all kinds of instructions but one of them has had the diarrhea since being fed fruit so she is wondering if maybe they do not eat fruit yet that was in the directions re care - this woman has a multitude (like 12 plus) other birds so she is knowledgeable about things avarian (sp?) but has never cared for this species.

She has ordered a book on Amazon so hopefully that'll help and I suggested she write to some of these ppl online or even call them and that may help.

Thanks again.
