Maximillion parrot I think the name Maximillion sounds much nicer than &#039;scaly-headed&#039;!<br /> Found this photo in my archives and realised we don&#039;t actually have a photo of one of these. Not the best technically, perhaps one day I will take another one..if I can find it!

    Maximillion, what an oddly cool word! Changes the species' common name to that :) Thanks for digging in the archives, what else you got in there? Posted 10 years ago
