Smaller than any Lovebird, As full of themselves as a Quaker and as cute as any Keet that's a Parrotlet.
From the Greenrump to the Blue Wing, the Forpus Family are a blast. Streak is a Pacific or Celestial Parrotlet and the most out going of the crew. He hits the scales at 26 to 28 grams! That's less than a candy bar folks! BUT he is a BIG bird in his mind.
For the most part care and feeding is akin to a Tiel other than I ADD :oSunflower seeds to his diet! He is on the go so much he burns the fat right up!
I often talk of their biting and while he did (Drew blood too!
) he is mostly pass that and is more of a cuddle bug now a days. He will go after the other Boyz on a second so I have to watch him like a hawk. 
Here's a photo on him sucking of a few scritches! He's good at it too! Heck lets make it a couples of shots!
