I believe this is an Acraga sp., but I give no certainty. I found a few similar ones and Acraga is by far the most numerous genus. I will look at this later

Weird. Reminds me of Acraga sp., or at least Acraginae or Dalcerinae.

Not sure how are their genetics in other parts of the world. I know rodents are a tiny little better in other countries compared to Brazil, but I really can't complain about the genetics of birds in Brazil.

Thank you for the compliment Neil. I'd love to see one in the wild. Most I see are either being sold, or being rescued by people here. In Brazil, though, the genetics of Nymphicus hollandicus are... good. The one in this post is 7 years old and never had any illnesses. Can't say the same about rodents. The genetics of rodents here is the worst I've ever seen, I've cared for 5 guinea pigs, all died before 5 years old due to genetic problems such as cancer. Never seen any genetic problems with rescued birds though. Nor with the ones being sold. It's not perfect, but it's way better than the genetics of rodents.

Kinda hard. I uploaded a similar one recently but I forgot to take the underside shot and the growth spot, it was identified by a Brazilian specialist as a possible Fuscoporia, but it's not a guarantee. It goes beyond my abilities to accurately identify this without seeing the underside and the growth spot / substract. Ganoderma is definitely a possibility... As are many other genera.

Reminds me of Fuscoporia as well.
