SO last night I watched the program called "Look Whose Talking" a documentary about parrots and their lives with people and in the wild.
It's not the one showing the excruciating poor condition of 'throw away birds', (which I also reccommend everyone watches too), but a more light hearted one showng wild and companion parrots and their relationships. So Salty, my YSA, was on the the bed with me and once the program started he pretty much stayed on my shoulder and watched the program. Oh he wandered off to play with a shoelace once or twice, but I swear that every time a parrot was on screen , it had his attention. I was really blown away. The scenes with parrots talking really had him riveted and started him off doing his cute muttering and squeeks. He even came over and nuzzled my cheek ( something new from him).
I know parrots can see TV screens ( unlike dogs) but this was pretty amazing, especially his reactions. Earlier in the evening, he was being a bad little parrot, doing hard nibbles on my ears and neck, and in general not acting well, I was even considering putting him in his cage until dinner time. But I remembered someone had re-posted that video ( THANK YOU !!) and decided to watch it with him.
