I was recently elected Membership Director of the Brotogeris Society International. We are a group of pet owners, breeders, and enthusiasts who love the Brotogeris parrot species. This species includes the Grey Cheek Parakeet, Orange Chinned Parakeet (both of whom you can see in the main mast photo above), the Canary Winged, White Winged, and Golden Winged Parakeets, and the Tui Parakeet. Our goal is to spread knowledge of the species and encourage the conservation of these little gems. We publish a quarterly journal with stories, photos, and articles written by our members.
If you are a Brotogeris enthusiast, please consider joining our club! We are always looking for articles and other content about your Brotos for our journal. You don’t have to be a professional writer; we can help you edit your stories.
Just go to www.brotosociety.org , click on the “application for membership” button and follow the instructions.
If you would like to see a free sample of our journal, leave a comment on this blog and I will email you a .pdf file of our colorful December issue.

I used to have a grey-cheek named Bugsy. Best bird I have had. I will be getting one in the future. I had it flight trained, and poop trained (hee-hee). Over the near 10 years of having it she escaped got out 5 times into the real world. Every time I hunted it down and rescued it, a couple of those it flew down to my shoulder when it saw me, but each time I called and she cried for me. I breed birds scientifically and will try to breed this species in the years to come and will contact the society. I’m a big believer in breeding endangered/threatened species that are still on the market to flood the market with home bred to stop or offset the influx of exotic species.

Jon, I am not a Brotogeris breeder. However, there is an excellent free list you can join and there are several breeders there. Go to Yahoo.com, click on Groups, and type in Brotogeris. There are two or three Brotogeris lists, ours is simply called “Brotogeris”. Also you could subscribe to our journal for more interesting Brotogeris info. To subscribe to the journal or get a free sample of the journal, click on the link I mentioned in the post. Tuis are very rare here in the US – a few of our members have them, but I think there are maybe 5 or 6 total that I know about through the Society.
