Red Rump Parakeets: Do They Make A Good Pet?

Question

I bought a red rump Parakeet several years ago at the Magnolia Bird farm in Corona, Ca. The seller didn't want to sell the bird to me because he claimed that those type of birds wouldn't make good pets but I proved him wrong! My red-rump is pleasant, gets along with the other parakeets and he even gets on my shoulder and lets me scratch his head. Their temperment is similar to cocktails. If you treat it well the bird will accept you into his/her life.
