Talon Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 The other night, Nilah my amazon was high up on my shoulder, I was reaching that arm up high, giving Talon her evening juice before bed. Nilah flew onto my shoulder and her chest was wedged into my ear. I could hear her heart beating clear as day.....it was an amazing moment to be that close to her chest and here how fast her little heart beats...that was a first for me & a moment I will never forget...absolutely amazing , the sound it was making..I never wanted to move from that position. Has anyone else had the pleasure of listening to their birds heart beating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRSeedBurners Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I listen to GreycieMae's all the time. I'm lucky to have a very tactile bird. My favorite is when I'm swinging her on her chain. That really gets her ticker going. I also like sticking my nose in that fuzzy little wing pit too and I'm always struck by how warm it feels - another one of those weird sensations of being very close to their being.

Greywings Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 In your ears, nose and hands breathing in and hearing that heart beat so close and so very rapid. How amazing to live closely with these feathered beings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 I have not been able to listen before this. Even tho I always allow shoulder birds I NEVER allow my face to get close enough to get bit. I always turn away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Will have to give it a try. I have a stethoscope around here somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I am still relegated to sniff distance only and it isn't that often I get close enough to get that wonderful scent of grey. Java lets me get close and even to snuggle under a wing on occasion, I will have to try that heartbeat. It is an amazing thought. Inside this little handful of feathers, or a bigger handful where an Amazon is concerned, beats a heart capable of understanding and participating in human emotion. Behind those bright and wonderful eyes there is a brain with capabilities far exceeding what we would have thought possible just a few short decades ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Awww... that is awesome! While Sophie snuggles all the time, and I'm sure I could hear her heartbeat everytime, you just reminded me, " I'm not a nurse all the time!" I'm always ready with my stethoscope to listen to asthmatic kids lungs, and Sophie imitating them. You made me " stop and smell the roses" Thanks Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neoow Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Alfie isn't a cuddler and is a 'no-shoulder' bird as he likes to try and find ears to nibble. So I've never heard his heartbeat before. Must have been pretty amazing though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I simply revel in the scent of our parrots, glad that isn't weird. I will have to give Java a snuggle tonight to listen for her heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
