               Forpus passerinus
            
               (L 4.8" Wt 0.81 oz)
          
         
         
            
               Forpus is derived from Greek
               to mean love bird; passerinus
               in Latin means sparrow-sized.
          
         
            
               Teach a parrot the terms ‘supply
               and demand’ and you’ve got an
               economist.
