Paco the White-capped Pionus Parrot

[2000hadee]

i have a quaker parrot named paco! i am posting a vid response of him

[HopesCharm]

The song reminds me of Matilda. I wanted to mute it so badly. Did you let Paco do that to your cabinets? o_O

[qtrhorse89]

@HopesCharm

It reminds me of Ice Age but now that you've mentioned it, it's reminding me of Matilda

[activistkate]

Paco looks like such a sweetie! Where did you get that awesome playgym?? My Quaker, Gus, would love it!

[margaritavilloch]

Thanks, Paco loves it . I live in the Florida Keys and there are many small uninhabited mangrove islands so I go and get some driftwood and old branches laying around. I put it together with ties and then screwed them together when I have the design around his cage that I wanted. Find some old branches of dried wood that wouldn't hurt Gus and try it. I used an outside umbrella stand for the base. Paco chews on the little twigs. Let me know how it goes. happy New Year!

The Rusted Root song was the only piece of music I had on my drive that worked with Paco's video when I was in Key West a few years ago.

[Toddster63]

Yikes! Wonderful bird—but hell, is that Rusted Root? Pionus, as a large parrot group, protested Rusted Root a few years ago... Is this a statement of some king by Paco regarding Rusted Root...?

yesterday, i fed my pionus parrot fried chicken because of the video roo's chicken breakfast. and did my parrot like chicken!!!

[margaritavilloch]

Your Parrot will like the leg and thigh bones better. He will dig out the marrow.

[mariechristine3]

he is very nice, wonderful parrot, I would like to know how old is he? and if he reaches the maximum size for it's race? and also how many years they used to live? thank you so much for your reply.

[margaritavilloch]

Paco is 20 years old, I got him when he hardly had feathers. They probabaly live 50-75 years less than the larger parrots. Paco doesn't screech like some other breeds, he is small and manageable. He doesn't talk , he is quiet, great pet.

[camarchar]

Paco is a verry beautyfull. He haves a great playground!!

We get also een Pionus, but a Pionus mentruus.

She lives with oure kaketoe and is now 3 years.

[margaritavilloch]

You will enjoy your Pionus, wonderful pets.

[mraeanne]

the skin around his eyes seems very pink. My White capped pionus has very white skin around his eyes

[kdiddyb]

Your Paco is gorgeous. I love the coloring.

[luvpnkflyd]

I have an 11 year old white cap and the skin around her eyes is white, vs. the red around your wc's eyes. Strange, but beautiful.

[thatsanawesome7]

seems to be mad throughout the video. lol.

my bird just runs away scared when a camera gets near.

[margaritavilloch]

He doesn't like people invading his space and camera was getting too close for his comfort.

[margaritavilloch]

Coming soon..... Paco taking a bath!

[margaritavilloch]

Thanks for your comment. Too many people buy birds and don't know what to do with them. It is unfortunate and really pushes my buttons when I see birds and other animals not taken care of. I am glad you rescued your WC Pionus. Paco is 17 year sold and the king of my home, he's got a lot of personality and loves to take baths. My friend Peri will post another video soon with Paco taking a nice bath. He wants one very day. I have him clipped so I use the fine spray on the hose nozzle.

[rockybird1]

What a beautiful bird! I just rescued a wc pionus from a horrible home. Hopefully, in time, with lots of good food and a large cage, his feathers will look as full and healthy as Paco's. What a great buddy!

[assapopolas]

i have a pionus parrot the exact same buy white feet and white around the eyes her names jamies shes a sweetheart

[thomaslucky67]

[margaritavilloch]

Coming attraction.... Paco Taking a bath.

[McKeeDon]

Paco is a STAR.

Thank you for giving us a peek.

[margaritavilloch]

Don you will get more than a peek if you get close, I'll show you! Come visit when it gets too cold in Colorado!

[kwpinkgirl]

Paco, do you have any tricks?

[bigtimeperi]

He's a very good rope climber and protector of his bell.

Margarita?

[margaritavilloch]

Hi an acrobat! Thought he could sign up at Cirque de Soleil but the hours didn't suit him.

[margaritavilloch]

Tons of tricks, I eat, I sleep, I, eh, well, yes, I do! I dance a lot!
