4 male babies and 4 more young babies

 Small birds have always been popular as pets, but in recent years, one specific type has seen an astronomical rise in popularity. We're speaking, of course, about the charming and captivating Parrotlet. Highly intelligent, affectionate, and undeniably cute, these little birds have been diligently working their way into the homes and hearts of bird lovers around the world. 

 That's right; these tiny little birds are indeed parrots―in fact, Parrotlets are the smallest birds in the parrot family, even smaller than Budgies! It might come as a surprise to many, but the Parrotlet's closest relative is actually the large and impressive Amazon Parrot, which may account for many of the behavioral traits these little birds exhibit.  

 On average, a Parrotlet that is well taken care of lives for up to 20 years, but many have lived on even into their 30s. 

 A member of the Psittacidae family, a parrotlet is the smallest species of parrot. There are several different breeds of parrotlets—including Pacific, Green-Rumped, Mexican, and Spectacled parrotlets—which typically have green feathers and sometimes include mutations like blue and yellow. 

More babies are soon to hatch. This little male is $175
