Rozalka, I don't think Zenek would ever forgive you if you introduced a Parvipsitta into your household, certainly your Bourkies never would. They are TROUBLE!!

Don't worry I'm not thinking about any parrots in next about 5 years The next parrot maybe would be in 10 years. At this moment no way I have to move out first. Maybe then I would be a better parront...

I've never seen a bird bathe like that!
I also love to binge watch bird videos.

I was showing the video to Julio and he stood in front of the screen for the full video. At the end, he just walked away, not a single anything from watching it. Double-Yellow Head Amazon can be just so blasted stoic, at times!

Awwwwwww, I know HRH Julio was feelin' the love for that little bathing beauty. He may not want to show it, but he'd be a sucker at heart for a cute birdie video just as much as the rest of us are!

Oh but I already can!!

Val: "If i sneak around vewy vewy quiet like, I can hop into Lovejoy's cage and eat all his dry mix and mum won't ever notice!"

Fang: "If I sneak around vewy vewy quiet like, I can go chew the brickwork in the bird room and mum won't ever notice!"

No dice you guys, mum is onto both of you!!

Jem: "Where is that confounded lorikeet? How is it that he's everywhere all at once?? He's right behind me, isn't he ..... AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Lovejoy: "I'm a 24/7 bundle of sass and green fuzz and attitude and I know it and I do what I want and you better get outta my way - until snuggle time before bed when I wrap mum around my little claw!"

Indeed you do, baby boy, indeed you do

As much as I love cute parrot videos part of me feels as though they don't present a very accurate picture to the general public of what parrot ownership, even small parrots like budgies, is really like. We on this forum know that our birds are not always cute and sweet. Sometimes they can be downright obnoxious. Parrots are like horses in a way- beautiful animals that can be unpredictable, even dangerous. It happens all the time, I fear. Someone who has never had a parrot is charmed by these cute videos and rushes out to buy one only to learn The Real Truth and the poor parrot that behaves like a parrot (they can BITE) is exiled to a tiny cage (big cages are very expensive) alone in a closed room (parrots are noisy) to eat an unhealthy seed only diet (they "won't eat veggies") OR get rehomed over and over again. I don't know what if anything can be done about this very real problem.

Just when I thought my Lovejoy and Peachie had cornered the market on unlikely interspecies relationships! Get a load of George the red tailed black cockatoo and Raphael the musk lorikeet in Tasmania -

Unlikely friendship between cockatoo and lorikeet 'bamboozles' wildlife sanctuary visitors

A red-tailed black cockatoo and a musk lorikeet have become inseparable, with the smaller bird often found under the wing of the cockatoo at Tasmania's Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary.

Seems whatever it is that lorikeets have got, they've got it for everyone!

That is just amazing!
They must have a larger number of similar interests!?!?

Perhaps they do, @SailBoat! Or perhaps George is yet another hapless victim of the irresistible charms of handsome little red-headed lorikeet roosters!!
