They were out standing. The one shot when you could see all the red tails as they flew off I just loved.

Thanks for the look see.

Thanks so much Dan for sharing those vids with us, like Ray I loved watching them fly from behind as you can see their pretty red tails, how gorgeous to watch a flock of them in the wild doing what parrots do.

Loved seeing all the red butts go flying off! Interesting that the wild AG beaks seem so much shorter than many of the companion birds I've seen. Does that mean that our companion's beaks are too long? Curious.

I really do not see a difference in the length of the wild grey beaks versus Dayo's or many other CAGs I know. In our homes, they keep their beaks in tip top shape by chewing on the wood toys and breaking open nuts like almonds etc.
