Is yours a wild or hand raised rosella?

hand raised

[Kilikilaya]

Does a rosella make a good companion?

[kuroneko1980]

Only from a distance.....they don't like to be touched...... mine will sit on my shoulder but i get bit sometimes :(

@hdahmer27 ive had my 9 month eastern rosella for 2 months now and she'll come onto my shoulder and let me pet and kiss her belly...the only problem im haaving is that she still wont come onto my hand when i reach in to her cage to get her...i just have to wait for her to come out on her own...any tips?

[hdahmer27]

I've had my Rosella for about 13 years and she only now will let me pet her and cuddle with her. She would let me kiss her belly when she was on my hand, but one day she changed! She is such a sweet bird. Half the time we don't even know she is in the house, she is really quiet. I would definitely recommend a Rosella as a pet!

It's so cute!

It's an Eastern Rosella, not a parakeet.

How much you paid for this beautiful pet?

Birdtrick - youtube,

He'll tell you what to do with a bird who bites you.

@Mr291229 I bought one off my neighbour about 9 years ago, he wasn't friendly at all and no matter how much we tried he would never come too close, they bite hard, very hard and don't let go for a few seconds, sometimes there's mild bleeding.

@kuroneko1980 Do he bite u just to warn u not to touch him or this is what u get, also hard do they bite because i've never been bitten by bird before, I'm thinking of purchasing one at the petstore I saw, its very young but shy is that a good sign or I shouldn't but it.

[Mr291229]

@kuroneko1980 You know this is not the first I heard that they only like company from a distance or when they want to, but also don't like to be touch, I guess that in there nature not all birds are alike they're different.

also how hard is it to teach them to talk?? or whistle
