What foot does your bird use?

[zERo]

I thought it would be cool to see how many parrots are right-footed and how many were left.
I have two birds that can use their feet my Gcc Tom and my Quaker Tony. Tom is left footed and Tony is right. I know that parrots who can't use their feet to pick things up probably have a preference too, but it's hard to tell with them. I think I've read that them being left footed is much more common?

Our Double-Yellow Head Amazon has a right preference. But we work to train step-up using either foot. Thus helping to easy step-up regardless of what side we are approaching.

The majority of my birds have been lefties. As for Charlie - I think he's all beak with a slight preference for left. Redshift is .... well, I dunno, LOL!
