5th parrot gathering

[dhorje]

It wasn't a good day this afternoon. The rain didn't dampen the spirit of the parrot enthusiasts. Some of the hardcore ones turned up despite the non stop drizzle.

We all gathered under the hut at the park. One lady asked me to do a demo. She wanted to see Cocoa fly. I went to an open area. There were trees sheltering us from the rain. I placed Cocoa on the ground and walked about 10ft away. She flew to me on command. I thought she would fly directly to me but instead of landing directly on my arm she flew past me and made a circle and back to me. Cocoa received a roaring applause from the crowds. I felt daaamn proud. Sorry no video.

Thanks for sharing all those wonderful photos. I got a bit scared when I saw that B&G perched next to that little whiteface cockatiel hen though Eek! Lots of different kinds of birds there that day!

What a nice gathering of parrot and bird enthusiasts even if it was raining but like Lisa I was shocked to see a Blue & Gold macaw sitting on a perch with a cockatiel, not something you see every day, thanks for sharing the pictures with us Sanggay.

The B&G that sat next to the tiel is only 5 months old. Pic #6 is a 16 years old male Macaw. He went berserk when he saw the female Macaw (2nd last pic).

He turned very aggressive, even the owner did not dare to touch him.

 

Many did not turn up for the event. Otherwise there would be Cockatoos, Eclectus and Amazons.

Cocoa was nervous in the presence of other birds. I placed her next to a 6 months old grey. The baby grey tried to be friendly to Cocoa but she fled in panic.

As you can see in the photos, the little tiel was not afraid of the giant Macaw. Cocoa panicked when I placed her close to the Macaw.

Well Cocoa was just being the typical teenager and having nothing to do with a baby grey, after all that is beneath her but I can understand her panic when she got close to the macaw but evidently that little tiel has brass.
