Great items for the parrotlet lover
My daughter has a Blue Pacific Parrotlet named Bella. Here's how she came to have this bird.
She was volunteering one day a week at a bird store in Phoenix. She cleaned cages and did feedings and stuff, and when she was finished, she could hold the birds. Well, she noticed no one ever wanted to hold this tiny little parrotlet because it bit everyone that came near it. So she decided she would make friends with it, and that became her mission.
Every week she worked with the bird, and it came to love her. However, since no one else could make friends with it, the store couldn't sell it. Finally, the store manager came and made me a great deal on Bella, and my daughter brought her home. She still bites anyone else who comes near her, but at least she and my daughter have each other.
If you or someone you know has a parrotlet, you know how addicting they can be. What I've put together here is some great parrotlet gift items for both birds and people. I hope you'll find something you'll enjoy.

Parrotlets are teeny tiny little birds that think they are the size of a giant macaw. Very big on attitude.

Available on lots of gift items
Parrotlets need to be handled every day to keep them tame.
Birdy Treehouse
A happy bird home
Our parrotlet LOVES her little plush house. She gets into it in the early evening and stays there until sometime in the middle of the night. It is a secure place for her, and when she's happy, we're all a little bit happier.

Parrotlets may be able to be handled by several people, such as in a family, but they generally develop a decided preference for one person.

It is important to try to be sensitive to a parrotlet's many moods. They are not the most easy-going pets.
Birdy Love
Bella gets her own design
My daughter has a shop of her own on Cafepress, and this is one of her designs with her little bird, Bella. It looks great on a mug or t-shirt, and is bound to please the parrotlet lover in your home.
Parrotlets may try to attack other pets that enter their territory. They are not intimidated by even much larger animals.
Super Deluxe Cages
In a variety of colors, too
While we can't quite swing a cage this beautiful yet, you'd better believe we will someday. This is a terrific cage. It has a rolling base, a ply top, a deep seed guard, and comes in a variety of colors to match any decor. Definitely worth checking out.

Parrotlets are not loud; they make charming little "peeps," but never scream as other birds can do.
I Love My Parrotlet
And my parrotlet loves me
Colorful and offbeat, this 3-D design is great for not only mousepads, but also for t-shirts and mugs. You can find it on a variety of great gift items at Cafepress.
Parrotlets like both fresh and dried fruits and vegetables along with their seeds.

Mexican parrotlets are larger, and tend to be less aggresive than Pacific parrotlets.

- Never heard of this bird. Very pretty, and I think it's sweet that your daughter reached out to something that no one else was willing to love!
