The shoe parrot is a different breed of parrot, they don't look anything close to being alike- it could be a distant cousin? I think I would rather have the shoe parrot!

Boy - both of these look like "home made" artists rendition of parrots. If anything it could be a Amazon style parrot. Here is a dealers photos that we work with form time to time: http://www.birdsplace.com/html/available_macaws.htmOur bird “my first son” is an 11 year old Blue & Gold. The Scarlet is the style of bird that you most likely associate with pirates. The Hyacinth is the largest of the parrots and very rare and expensive – the only one I have ever seen and handled belonged to my “late” best friend and he came from a family of billionaires in Beaverton, Oregon (NIKE founders), it takes about 13-19 grand to buy one of those solid blue parrots. I would guess that the Poly Merized was based on the Severe Macaw, but that bird has feathers on its face? The Poly gasoline bird is most likely a large Amazon style parrot or even a Hahns - they are little 8" birds - mine is about 30" tall. Travis Topeka, Kansas
