And, the interrelationship of living things on this Planet is yet again demonstrated.
Yup, Parrots are an active part of the interaction...

With utmost humility, my I suggest that we carve out a percent or two for food that winds up regurgitated onto doting parronts?

Great article!

Sunny the Sun Conure (sept '18, gotcha 3/'19). Mr Jefferson Budgie & Mrs Calliope Budgie (albino) (nov'18 & jan'19). Summer 2021 Baby Budgies: Riker (Green); Patchouli, Keye, & Tiny (blue greywings).
Hm. it's been obvious to me from the beginning that Sunny Only drops the foods she likes. What she dis-likes, she avoids. Her intentions are quite clear. She obviously hopes to plant herself a Forest of Safflower-Seed, GreenBean, and Orange Trees!

HAHA--- so my mom always complains about this when we visit (and of course I sent her the story)...

Here was her reply:
"Hmm too bad you dont have a ground dwelling creature who would benefit lol! Hopefully, her seeds wont attract any!"

None so far and it has been years *knock on WOOD!!!!*****
