Hi Murry,

You won't (shouldn't) find a South African Cape Parrot (Poicephalus robustus) for sale anywhere. These birds are very endangered. There are just a couple thousand left in the wild and the few that are in captivity are (should be) in breeding programs.

Enjoy your new friend. I've never met a Poicephalus cryptoxanthus in person. Let us know how it goes.
