They are probably about 7-8" tall, 18-20" from head to tail. They really don't like it when I try to measure them. Alexandrines, like most psitticula, are not very affectionate but they do like to be on me and they like it when I talk to them. Beeker has a thing for mouths. He'll sit and stare at my mouth while I talk to him. They don't like to be touched. Attempting to pet them will result in a bite and that doesn't feel good. As you can see they have big beaks for their body size. They love destroying things. Wood toys, door and window trim, chairs, computer keyboards, rubber buttons on the TV remote. Beeker is probably my best talker. I need to work with him more though because he seems to be forgeting some words. Monty used to talk but when Beekie came along she decided to let him do the talking for both of them. Every once in awhile she'll say something but she usually just whistles.
