Our parrots and the solar ecliplse?

[DRB]

Anyone have experience with this? Should we expect a reaction from our FIDs?

 

[LordTriggs]

I suspect you'll get either a squawk of astonishment, they think it's bedtime, or absolutely no reaction at all. Saying that they may also spawn 6 heads and finally impart the eldritch truth unto us

I'm taking Perjo outside for it.

I have watched a total eclipse before and if my memory serves me right the silence was almost scary. All the wild birds stopped singing, presumably they grabbed an extra nap. Then once it passed they all kicked off again. Quite a strange experience.

Birds and other animals of the wild consider the reduction of Sun light as the normal on-site of evening!

Birds will roost! Some will nap!

Pretty boring from their view point!

It got dark-ish... we had an 80% eclipse... and yes, it got eerily quiet. The Rb and I were inside with his window raised. The silence and shade put him in the mood for a nap...

That was at about 2:30 EST (the maximum eclipse here).

By about 3, he was successfully revived by a gigantic green chile.

GaleriaGila, over and out.

Pleased you at least got to see it, cloudy here in UK so nothing to see unfortunately.

Good god Gail that chilli is bigger than RB! Will he need a fire extinguisher after?

I slept through the eclipse, oops. Though Lincoln is very snippy today. Don't know if it's just a coincidence or?

Oh well, you only need wait for another until 2024

I took no chances. I bought Salty a pair of parrot sized sunglasses.

Joking, of course. Geri did have him out in his Pak o bird, he pretty much ignored the eclipse. Only 71% here in NY, but man people went a little nuts. I saw people using welders masks!

Awww Al, I fell for that for a whole second....was looking forward to the photo.

 

[ParrotLover2001]

It was only 58% here, so my birds didn't have much of a reaction to it. It didn't get darker, or at least not by much. I have to wait until 2024 for a total, then I'll see about my birds reactions.
