Hi. I am new to Kakarikis. I have generally heard (even here) that they can be kind, but not very social with humans. However, I recently visited a store selling two Kakarikis. I just fell in love with one of them. A beautiful pale blue color. I have a few questions...
First... I can't find any information about Kakarikis in this color. Is this a true Kakariki?
Second... This bird was incredibly friendly and social. Coming right up to me and licking my fingers. Letting me touch him, seemingly very affectionate. Do any of you have experience like this with your Kakarikis?
and finally...many of you say they are fairly quiet... that is important to me. I do live in an apartment with paper thin walls. Is it often that they screech?
Thank you so much for your advice. I was not actually planning to get a Kakariki, but this one in particular has intrigued me... any advice would be appreciated.
FYI, the second, green one they were selling seemed much more "typical"

Kakariki by nature and habit are very different to most other parrots as they have evolved in a non mammal environment.
They are not a 'cuddly toy' ... they have a very independent nature so one tends to co habit with them ... its when they want to interact with u rather than when u want to..
the upside of this is kakariki are the least prone to every feather pluck or get psychological issues....
They tame very easy and make excellent 'friends ' rather than a cuddly toy
And because evolved in a non mammal environment they not only have different nature but different diets, more like a small mammal and extremely hardy to cold and hot climates...
