Diva may be smaller than the other birds, but don't tell her that! She believes she's just as big, and has the attitude to prove it.

She's just as vocal, demanding of attention, and as curious as the others are.

She is a complete sweetheart!

Here you can see one of the reasons I call her Diva. She truly thinks she's should be the center of attention at all times. When she thinks she's not, her "hair" goes up and she let's me know its time to play with her now!!

While Diva Weighs in at approximately 740 grams (1/2/06) she holds her own when playing with Serrano.

Her turquoise and gold feathers are multi-faceted and shimmer in the sunlight.

Her long tail feathers are narrower than the others, but help give her a petite look that is in perfect proportion to her body and disposition.

If you've ever wondered if birds can smile, this picture should clear that up. Here, Diva is happy that she's the only one in the house.

Did I mention that she likes to be the center of attention?
