Scarlets
are very
loving and loyal companions to those who take the time to get to know and understand this
delightful species. Scarlets are the prima donnas of the bird world and need to be treated
as such. They are extremely smart and sensitive. Scarlets can also be very good talkers.
Our scarlet, Dudley, not only talks, he sneezes, coughs and gives raspberries.
