Open the file. If you get a shadow box on the bottom of the screen, click the far right icon in the shadow box which will let you view the screen using Adobe Reader. Once viewing in Adobe, you can make it easier to use by opening the "Bookmarks" on the left-hand side of the form. If you’re unfamiliar with PDFs, this will be the second item down on the left side of the screen. You’ll see the bookmark there and it will allow you to jump to the page you wish to see. Be sure to use the scroll bar on the right to see more of the pages under that category. Within the data for each specific classification you will find the normal (wild) color listed first. Followed by other color mutations in aphabetical order The only exception to this is when a group of birds containing more than one color mutation is sold. That data is listed as a mixed mutation lot and is usually immediately after the normal color listing. Often a specific classification will be listed and there will be no data in the table. This is because there was once data but it has become over a year old and has been deleted. If you do not find the type of bird within the classification you expected, there are two possible reasond: (1) No birds of that type have been sold in Central Texas recently, and they are not listed in the data. (2) The bird is listed under another classification. If this the case the following list of General Classifications and Specific Classifications may help you find the data you need.

  • Lovebird Lovebirds Are Small, Active, Happy Birds. They Can Also Be Loud and Nippy. a Single Lovebird Can Be a Great Pet, While
    LoveBird Lovebirds are small, active, happy birds. They can also be loud and nippy. A single Lovebird can be a great pet, while a pair of Lovebirds will often bond to each other and not care to spend time with you. A Lovebird will not sing, and few Lovebirds will learn human speech. But they are a lot of personality packed into a tiny and relatively inexpensive bird. If you are looking for a small buddy, who will be thrilled to play with you and snuggle with you, a Lovebird may be exactly right for you. But be prepared for some shrill chirps, a few nips on the finger, and very inquisitive shadow. Hand-Fed? Or Parent Raise? A young hand-fed Lovebird is the best bet for an inexperienced bird-owner. Parent-raised lovebirds are tamable, but it requires a lot of love, patience, and tolerance to bites. Diet A pelleted diet, supplemented with fresh fruits, vegetables, boiled eggs, cereals, pasta, rice, and lentils will produce a healthy, beautifully feathered Lovebird. Many Lovebird breeders also feed a seed-based diet, with most of the other foods as supplements. A seed-based diet must consist of a mixture of seeds and grains. Canary seed, millet, rice, oats, safflower and a small amount of sunflower are the most popular parts of these seed mixes. Corn is often a big hit with Lovebirds, as is sprouted seed. Lovebirds also tend to drink a lot of water, and must have fresh water available at all times. Cage The minimum cage size for a single pair of Lovebirds is 30 X 30 X 18.

    Ornis Hungarica 2020. 28(1): 104–120. DOI: 10.2478/orhu-2020-0008 Skull morphometric characters in parrots (Psittaciformes) Tibor PECSICS1*, Miklós LACZI1,3, Gergely NAGY1, Tamás KONDOR1 & Tibor Csörgő2 Received: April 24, 2020 – Revised: June 02, 2020 – Accepted: June 03, 2020 Pecsics, T., Laczi, M., Nagy, G., Kondor, T. & Csörgő, T. 2020. Skull morphometric characters in parrots (Psittaciformes). – Ornis Hungarica 28(1): 104–120. DOI: 10.2478/orhu-2020-0008 Abstract Parrots (Psittaciformes) are a unique and diverse avian group and vary tremendously in size, shape, and colour. Mainly distributed throughout the tropics and subtropics, most spe- cies of parrots are largely or exclusively arboreal with several exceptions. The species also differ in diet and hab- itat, which led to different musculoskeletal adaptations of the skull. However, parrots have conspicuous general- ized external features; in this recent study, we tried to increase our knowledge of the cranial shape and foraging habits. A geometric morphometric approach was used to analyse two-dimensional cranial landmarks. We used principal component (PC) analyses on measurements that may be related to diet. The PCs described the relative height of the cranium, the relative length and curvature of the beak, differences in the orientation and curvature of the lacrimal bone and the upper margin of orbits, variation in the size and position of the palatine bone and the relative width of the cranium, and variation in the relative size of the neurocranium compared to the viscerocra­ nium. The dietary categories overlap in the morphospace but the analysis in lateral and ventral view resulted in significant differences.
