Description

These parrots were a gift to my wife from her grandmother.  They were brought to the United States from Italy by my wife's great grand mother.  Not too much to add other than there are inscriptions on the base of these parrots that I don't understand and can be seen in my photos.  They are beautifully colored and really stand out.  The parrot with its wings spread is 12 in. in height with a weight of about 4 lbs.  The other taller parrot is 14 in. in height with a weight of about 3.5 lbs.  The tip of one of thie wings of the taller parrot is broken off and not found.
