    I love love love their faces. I've always wanted a children's.

    Reach for the stars, and if you don't grab them at least you'll fall on top of the world.

    I don't really see many, but they are very cute! I love the first pic it reminds me of the cartoon Dexters Laboratory. It looks like Dexters sister DeeDee saying "Oooo what does this button dooo?" Lol xD

    Why are they not more popular? Who knows. They are small, they are fairly bullet proof, they have fairly undemanding husbandry and they - for a boid - are fairly active. They are easy and entertaining captives.

    Then again, it depends on your definition of popularity. There are plenty of antaresia afficionados out there. Once you discover where they hang out, maybe you will reconsider the whole "lack of love" thing.

    i know where they hang out, some of them anyway. there is quite a bit of pretentiousness over there. the aussie guys are pretty cool on their forum though....just arent many people from the states on that one.
