Let me introduce u all to my small flock. We all live in The Netherland, Europe.
Meet Poinky, my green cheek conure.
Meet Rasta, my Brown throat conure.
Meet Dreadlock, my sun conure.
Poinky is the smallest, but he is the boss. Rasta his only and best friend is Poinky.
Dreadlock is the best aviator of the 3 and will outfly any human pilot. He can take off like a helicopter or like a fighter jet. He lands and takes off from a moving object, and he will do it in dusk/dawn when his visibilitY (still is) poor. If he doesnt have the runway in sight before decision altitude he will make a go-around and/or go back/divert. He will fly so close to the wall/floor/ceiling/me that his wings makes contact. He does 360´s in the air, makes tight manoeuvres, flyies through small spaces. He also likes to show-off and changes flightroute inflight. In wet conditions he also performs well. He is becomming quite an expert.
All 3 can fly and have accepted eachother (and me) even though it's like a soap here everyday again.
For me personally a parrot is unique is quite some ways. Not only in its intelligence and ability to mimmic our language, but most of all the beauty of flight.
It´s all about the laws of gravity. It´s a gift to fly!
