Hmm makes sense lol it would be nice to walk around in a Rain forest the sounds would really calm you down and im sure you would hear parrots too.I used to play sounds from the rainforest on youtube to budgies I used to have and they loved it.

Not much as they can simply fly away from a fight. We pretty much remove the flight from the natural flight or fight equation of parrots in the wild when we placed them in captivity so ours fight much more than they naturally would in the wild.

Some changes are big ones and others not so much, it just depends on what the behavior is and the circumstances involved in it.

Agreed, and they rarely would fight in the wild, especially if the food is plentiful. Though larger species (galahs, cockatoos ect:) do often quarrel and playfight :)

They only fight within their own species, when they first mature sexually, at breeding time and over a female when two males want the same one - but even that is rare because it's always the hens that do the final choosing.
