3rd Parrot Club Gathering

[dhorje]

We had a gathering at a prawn fishing pond yesterday. The pond is owned by the organizer's friend. His name is Bob.

By the time I reached there, quite a number of members had already left. There were only a few parrots left for me to take pics.

 

 

 

This guy was about to leave when I reached there.

 

 

 

 

 

This Hahn Macaw is for sale.

 

 

The cockatiel belongs to Bob, the owner of the fishing pond.

 

My baby, Cocoa.

 

 

 

I'll help you to look for ticks.

 

 

I spread the wings of the Greater Sulfur. Bob is in the background.

 

Videos.

 

Bob helps the Too to spread his wings and the Too closes his wings on command.

 

David and Goliath.

Another bunch of wonderful pictures and what a gathering especially if most of them had already left.

 

I love the colors in the bird in the second pic, must be some type of ringneck.

 

Thats so sweet of the cockatiel preening the too, they seem to get along very well.

 

Well thanks again for sharing these pictures and videos with us, I always look forward to your posts.

That is a long tailed parakeet, a local parrot.

The number of this parrot is fast diminishing due to trapping and deforestation.

Here's a link to a description of the long tailed parakeet with some nice photos -

Thanks for the pictures. I really like how that little cockatiel is preening the cockatoo!

 

Are those small cages just for transport - i.e the one the Hahnn's macaw was in?

The small cages are meant for transporting the parrots. Some of them brought more than 2 parrots.
