Sorry, this is something I can't watch.

I also cannot watch this. What is the value of showing a lone bird being potentially attacked by a flock of crows? I would have intervened immediately.

I would have intervened immediately.How easily you can say, you can intervened, it's a lone bird who entered a unknown space which apparently have crows nests and all these crows permanently lives there.
I wanted to see how they react to someone trespassing through there living area. And the video is for 2 min but it took almost 45 min for parrot to gain courage to leave their vicinity and I was there guarding him from the crows and not recording it.
Please try to observe and understand the context of video.

The title of this thread indicates that a flock of crows had "captured" a white parrot. You gave no further explanation in your post so there was no "context" for me to view it. The opening scene is of a lone cockatoo on a branch with crows coming at him from all sides. I am not going to watch a video which potentially could lead to injury or death of any bird.

I viewed the full clip and no physical harm was inflicted upon the cockatoo. The OP indicates that it ultimately escaped. And yes, Helena... descriptions are very important. I've changed the thread's subject title accordingly.

I wonder how afraid the cockatoo was, they are normally pretty feisty and it doesn't seem too concerned. If it was, he/she would have flown away.
More like scenario: Cockatoo decides to annoy crows knowing that they are too afraid to actually try and attack.

Hi Ibvstudios,

I too was leary of viewing the video as it was titled, but I did and it was interesting. Do you get to see wild birds interact like this often or was this a rare occasion? Is this your parrot? So what is your thoughts on what you saw? The short clip gave me more questions than anything.

No I don't have any pet bird and I don't want to also.
I live just opposite to sea shore, so there are so many birds around.
If I am at home, I spent most of my time standing at window & observing activities of birds & other animals. Mostly there are crows,heron,eagles, sparrows & pigeons.

So when I first time saw this parrot, I was mesmerized by how beautiful it is.
But for crows he was complete stranger who came near their living area and that's why I gave title of video "Trespasser".

I recorded it till the point, I thought parrot is safe but as crows started getting closer and more anxious. So I have to stop recording and scare the crows away from the parrot. For 45 minutes, same thing keep repeating that I fly them away and after a minute they start coming back. And after 45 minutes somehow parrot gained the courage to fly away from this area. I haven't seen this parrot again till now.
And after that day crows behavior also changed a bit toward me.

How nice that you live in such an area. It sounds like a beautiful place. I would love to see parrots hanging around, as well as eagles and herons. I do see a lot of sparrows, cardinals and blue jays in the spring but sea gulls are quite common in the parking lot at my job as well as some pigeons.
Thanks for giving me the details of how you came to make your video. I can only imagine what that parrot was thinking or what it may of been looking to accomplish. Oh we do have some black crows but they don't really perch for long, but grab some food and keep moving.

And about crows, I have started observing them from last three months. And they are really intelligent species.

Here is one example of a stupid conversation between crow & me.

Hi, lbvstudios! I enjoyed your video, the cockatoo looked like a Goffins of sorts. Cockatoos ARE feisty and I believe if it felt itself in danger it would have flown off. I use to have a free flying Umbrella cockatoo that related to and hung out with the ravens in our area, they shared their space well. The crows in your video do seem rather upset with the intruder but looks like they worked it out. Are cockatoos indigenous to your area?
