THE BEAUTIFUL AND SO COLORFUL CRIMSON
BELLIED CONURE !
| Crimson's Sky and Skeeter |
|
|
The Crimson's are very rare and not many are known in the pet world
. They are in the same family as Pyrrhura as
the Green cheek family. They are some what heavier bodied , just by a tad bit though.
They make wonderful pets and their colors are compared to the beautiful
Sun Conure's a Rainbow of colors , so so much quieter. They remind me of the sweet dispositions the suns have very cuddly
and playful , the advantage is they don't have a loud call (scream) Suns have .(Please don't mis
understand me Suns are wonderful pets if your not noise sensitive to their call ).
