: Looks like your little guy will be more similar to a Senegal than to an Uncape.

: Check out www.wingscc.com/aps/brown.htm

: : Well if the photo's I have seen are anything to go by I agree , the species seems smaller. I have seen one that is 5 years old and it does not seem as big, then again there is not much to reference it to, being in someone's hand is not accurate but is close enough.. some pics that I have seen of Thor sure make him look bigger. I will be able to send some snaps of him in a week when my son gets back from holiday and returns my digital camera.

: : : I think the Poicephalus cryptoxanthus cryptoxanthus is one of the smaller Poicephalus, not in the Cape/UnCape group as it was recently defined.

: : : : According to the breeder my species is a Poicephalus cryptoxanthus cryptoxanthus.. which I do not see on your website, they call it a brown headed Cape parrot.
