Parker being a naughty boy [short video]

[chris-md]

and generally uneclectus like. He is generally video shy but he had no compunction letting me get this on video. I tried hard not to laugh so as not to reinforce the behavior, but it was just too dang funny. He did it multiple times.

LOL!!!! That is awesome. Earlier I was on a conference call when Venus decided to toss her Mega Blocks on the floor and she tossed her food bowl after she pushed it around her playtop for a few minutes. I love their antics.

Hahahaa "You're a proud Eclectus! You're so much better than that!"

What he wants to say is "there....now your going to the kitchen to get the bowl, so while your there, I'll have some pumpkin seeds"

Parker's cute even in his naughty moods. i love the that's such a macaw move, your better then that, your so much better then that. one of the best posts I've ever seen,thanks.

Hahaha love it!!

 

[Anansi]

Hahahahahaha! What did you give him that prompted such allegedly uneclectus-like behavior? ROTFL!!!

HEY! Watch what you say about macaws!!! LOLOLOL!

I think it is hilarious when birdies toss their food bowls. Of course, it's only funny when the bowls are empty.

Fun video.

LMAO, my Too did the exact same thing last night! Funniest part is she barely spilled any of the leftover seed that was in it!

Dexter tosses everything off his play center, I'm going to have to tell him that proud eclectii don't do that!

 

[DexMom]

BTW - Parker's feathers are looking terrific!

 

[chris-md]

Let me tell you, it's nice to finally really be seeing a bit of his personality. Up until recently there hasn't been a whole lot of real personality showing through. Either that or his personality really is just calm/lethargic (not in a sickly way), not super playful. Mostly just the perch potato and food begger

Stephen, I don't recall what it was at this point. It might've been something with cabbage.

Dexmom, he is feathering out quite well! I'll be posting a photo shortly

Hey Shawna, I think you posted a video of Baxter throwing his bowl around. I think we need to post both in one thread and have a "who threw it better" contest!

 

[GreatBlue320]

LOL, Chris! Parker would win that contest hands-down because Baxter only tipped his bowl to dump the toys and then returned the bowl to its holder. I honestly don't think he has discovered the pure delight of throwing things "Parker-style"... yet.

But when he does, then a contest we will have!
