Love the laughing and the noises he is making! Such a sweetie~

[Dragonlady2]

That is a wonderful video. I love how he laughs. You are really developing a lovely relationship with him.:goodjob:

[Quakerella]

What a wonderful video. He really does love you.:th_smile:

[plax]

That's an adorable video, Jenn :D. You really have quite a special relationship with Lucky. So did you ever end up finishing the dishes? ;)

Fantastic video. At least he wasn't climbing down your arm to play in the water or turn on the tap. Casper also loves to be on a shoulder when we are doing stuff, he takes a great interest in making sure we are doing things right. He is however about a quarter of the weight of Lucky so it must be quite a strain on your back muscles. Osteopaths are expensive!

I loved the video, you have a great relationship. :)

Rosie loved it to. She said "hi" and then kept giving me kisses while we watched it. :)

Thanks for sharing.

Casper loved it too, he had a go at nodding his head like Lucky but didn't try the bouncing up and down - is that just a Macaw thing?

It may be. But since I only have a macaw I can't say for sure. :)

I'm not sure if it is a Macaw thing either but I can tell you Lady does it all the time!

[PlaxMacaws]

I think it may be more of a macaw thing and a cockatoo thing than a general parrot thing. I've seen lots of 'toos do it as well. As for my four macs, Zaf and Salsa do the up n down bobbing all the time. Whereas Jack hasn't ever done it during the nearly 36 years he's been with me! He does however do his side-to-side swaying.

So since Jack and Lucky are both B&Gs, this suggests to me that the bobbing-dance proneness may not be so much species-related as it may be personality-related. But I also think both of those aspects may contribute to some degree.

Then there's Maynard. He does neither the bobbing nor the swaying... so go figure ;). This all suggests that while the up n down bobbing seems more of a macaw and cockatoo thing than a general parrot thing, it as well seems to be directly related to a bird's particular personality. In any case, I think it's a cute and interesting trait :D

I love seeing birds do the swaying dance. Rosie doesn't do it but I wish she would. It so reminds me of Stevie Wonder and puts a big smile on my face.

You're right. It really is a cute and interesting trait. Also, I really like the message in your signature to adopt older birds.

I too love watching the swaying dance. I have a couple that do. Adopted an older bird the other day. Feeling happy. :)

Welcome to the forum Nathan. Looking forward to you starting a thread about your bird(s)... with pics :)

[Dragonlady2]

Welcome to the forum! Yes...please tell us how you came to adopt an older bird.

[Lady]

Welcome from me as well. Heck I want to hear everything about your flock!

Wow, I really love parrots. Parrots are amazing because they can copy your sound and they bite really very hard. They like chillies and their eggs are also amazing.

[Dragonlady2]

GeorgeBernard, do you have any parrots yourself? How did you become interested in them?

We all have so many stories on here of the douchey things our birbs do to us and everything we love. What's something that your parrot does that reminds you how glad you are to share a life together?

[eve93]

So interesting. I love his laugh. It's great that you and he have such a bond and that's love.
