Adorable! It's so fun watching other parrots do tricks- and I love this one! Kili- how'd you come up with the name?

To make a long story short I was originally intending on Kiwi and trying the name out but it wasn't exactly clicking. Someone told my 5 year old sister that I have a parrot named Kiwi so she started calling it Kili (mangled kid speak) and the name worked and stuck. Some of my criteria for a name were that it's short, easy to say quickly, and is not a human name. I don't like giving human names to pets or weird pet kinda names to humans.

I always wondered how you came up with the Name Kili. That's cool!

BTW: This is by far the cutest trick Kili does. I honestly don't think it would be possible to get bored watching it done over and over again. So cool :)

So adorable :) But how do you get a parrot to tuck its head under and flip?

For that matter, I have my GCC laying complacently in my hand on his back but I have no idea how to transfer that behavior to the floor to get a "play dead" behavior...
