In the next issue, Pauline James has written up a very interesting article on a lesser known Pionus, but one of the most attractive, says committed enthusiast and aviculturalist, Jeanie Rheinheimer, who breeds them in the United States. I have spoken to Jeanie at her home in north Indiana, when we discussed many topics about breeding parrots and needless to say, the Coral-billed topped the bill.

Jeanie takes a very responsible approach to aviculture and has located another breeder in the USA who also has the Coral-billed, in order to exchange new bloodlines.
