kakapo is my favourite
>>4705999NZ parrots are generally cool. Kea are like, crow-level smart, plus being the only alpine parrots in the world.
>>4705999Same. I also like keas, lovebirds and goffins birds with a lot mischief in general.
>>4705999I never see these weirdos mentioned anywhere. Female on the left.
Not particularly interested in them myself, but the Kakapo is a cool looking bird. The plumage reminds me of CADPAT camo.
I was looking at my bird gallery and found this, is it a parrot?

>>4705999Based trips. I love these goofy niggas like you wouldn’t believe
>>4705999Shagged by a rare parrot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T1vfsHYiKY%7CthisHe was asking for it, dressed the way he was, in his green shirt.
>>4705999
>>4706300Where the fuck did he go? This looks edited
>>4707349This board is for humans, sorry anon.
>>4706021This make u mad, whiteboi?
>>4706344looks like a lorikeet (a type of parrot) but i don't know the species
>>4706021You just know
>>4707735What about this?
>>4707802Holy shit it's a Chocobo
>>4705999>ywn see a Carolina parakeetwhy live
>>4708636Never forget, they died for women's hats.
>>4707518Hey, cool it with the antisemitic remarks.
>>4705999I love parrots and it breaks my heart seeing so many households or hoarders mistreat them, bad housing, cheap slop (fucking leftover fruit), and they rarely ever leave their cage.
>>4705999when the FUCK are they going to clone these guys back from extinction? I want parrots in my backyard dammit!
>>4711390I have these in my backyard. Can hear them chat from my room.
>>4705999Love parrots, and I was even eyeing a few Blue-and-yellow macaws/African grey parrots a while back, but lookedInto all that’s needed to maintain them and realized it just wasn’t possible, you have to sink *a lot* of money into them, even as far as ‘exotic’ pets go >>4710325Kek
>>4711347I wish my parakeets would eat fucking fruit. Those fuckers, whom I love with all my heart, are too scared of it no matter how many I have eaten in front of them.
>>4716429Try removing all good food and just leave the fruit. It might seem cruel,but it might force them to try and maybe they owuld eat it.
>>4705999nigga looks like a bottle gourd
Parrots have such an aesthetic shape and palette
>>4715245the money isn't even the problem. a parrot is not a pet, it's a lifestyle.
>>4726771So cute
>>4725250Yeah, there’s a lot you have to sacrifice I found out
>>4713419>birds ARE dinosaurs
>>4705999Is that kakapo missing an eye?
>>4707346Dat some Hyacinth? Where is my Hyacinth harem.
>>4727184Possibly, possibly blinking. They do have strange heads reminiscent of herbivorous dinosaur depictions.
>>4706011Most campervan rentals explicitly mention that insurance may not cover damages done to vehicles in their hood, there are even signs at the entrances to tourist spots as Kea are pretty indiscriminate and one day they will find the fabled 'tasty black rubber thing'.
>>4707802These fuckers tell you to 'go weehh !!!'
I love all of the parrots.
>>470734630 thousandth dollars...
>>4719948i love these little niggers like you wouldn't believe, i hope to get a picture of one some day or at least see one in person
>>4707802Based loerie poster. Got a bunch of these that sit in my tree and make death rattle noises between their usual kweeeee
>>4705999I like kakapo too, but they’re endangered like kiwi i think, which is sadMy favorite is probably salad conures
They live so long. A young parrot would easily outlive me at this point. Do parrot owners adopt old parrots or something?
>>4730183nope, they're just abusive and toss parrots from home to home and tiny cage to tiny cage like they're furniture.
>>4718556ToT
>>4726771while this may look cute those are actually parasite that latch on to its head and suck it dry from blood
>>4730190vampire parrots??? we need to rub some garlic on it…
im looking to huff a parrot, i need it man!
>>4705999keeping them as pets should be outlawed. its literal torture
>>4731485nobody keeps them as pets you retard they're practically extinct so most of them live either in captive breeding programs or on ecosanctuaries that have had all pests eradicated
>>4730202Holy based
Parrots are in my opinion definitely the most beautiful creatures in the world.
>>4707346I can only dream of experiencing such joy.
>>4731052Babe no! Please stop smelling the bird!
>>4737091
>>4737095Evening sir. You were doing some swerving back there. Have you been huffing cat piss or sniffing birbs tonight?
>>4741906is this jonestown?
>>4706344>The brown lory (Chalcopsitta duivenbodei), also called Duyvenbode's lory, is a species of parrot in the family Psittaculidae native to northern New Guinea.
>>4730109>loerie>Also known as the grey go-away-birdFucking lmaoAlso, they sound super cute. Like a toy made to sound like an old wooden rocking chair.
>>4705999I wish I was free, rich, and stable enough to own a parrot.They're too smart, unfortunately. Probably couldn't keep one entertained that's why I sate myself by owning lower INT animals like Chickens and Ducks
RAGE!!!
>>4719948Night parrots are so interesting, their reputation as ‘a birders holy grail’ and the veil of mystery they hold makes them fascinating to read about! Plus there’s been a few new developments in collecting info about night parrots, so hopefully better targeted conservation efforts might see them appear where people can observe and appreciate them :D (from a distance so they don’t get spooked tho)
>>4705999My uncle owns a parrot and he stinks.
>>4743182It is, and a couple of parrots that decided to not drink the kool-aid.
>>4709382they died because they were too noisy
>>4747200Howdy!
>>4705999I will never forget that kakapo surprised sex a guy who was filming a nature documentary with Stephen Fry, Just Because Of The Way He Was Dressed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T1vfsHYiKY%7Cthis
>>4705999does anyone else not keep a parrot around because it would sit on the computer monitor and scratch the screen? and i don't have the heart to keep it in the cage 24/7, nor the space to let it out without any open windows
>>4761121Who is this gentleman?
>>4771139ill get a parrot when i can build a big aviary for them
>>4771139mine just wants to be on me, on top of the cage, or jumps to the floor and tries to explore (which is annoying)
>>4761121Why are budgies so goofy?
>>4711347The cockatiels we got when I was a kid are 20 years old now. Never had to be taken to the vet. We've just fed them a high quality seed mix supplemented with millet stalks and small bits of select human food like a dollop of oatmeal porridge, bit of bread, some rice, or even a slice of ham from time to time. The female in particular absolutely loves ham. Mostly we chalk up their health and longevity to them having flown freely for the whole day all their lives. They're locked in at night and let out in the morning, mostly so letting them out could occasionally be delayed if like the plumber was coming over or whatever.
>>4771139Just mount a perch over your monitor. Screw two vertical plywood strips or whatever into the VESA mounting holes on the back, then fasten a crosswise perch across the top of these strips. Maybe let some fabric hang down on the back from this to protect your cables from poop.
>>4706603I was hoping somebody posted this, want a gem of a video. He even went for a post-coomer cuddle, truly a distinguished gentleman. >>4707346This looks like heaven, actual heaven. Wonderful. <3>>4711347I've always loved birds and would love to keep a bird in my house, but we already have a kot and a dog, and that's not a good mix. And I'm afraid it could fly away or get chased by one of the neighbourhood's cats, since there's a ton of them here. Budgies and parakeets are so pretty, I love when birbs go "WEEEEH"These birbs in pic rel literally look like plushies that have come to life. I wonder why they have two red dots on their head/cheeks, though
Also spreading the love for a wonderful engineer birb, my country's national birb, the Rufous Hornero. I can hear their chants almost every day, together with the benteveos or bichofeos as we call them here.
I just heard some of them singing just a minute ago, beautiful.

a toast, to parrots!
I was at parrot enclosure at the zoo and one of the keas looked at me and starting jumping sideways. Long story short I eventually realised he's doing that for me specifically. So I also started jumping sideways. And he started mirroring me. I do three jumps left, he does three jumps left. I do four jumps right, he does four jumps right. We played like that for a while. Some other people joined even. Probably looked super stupid.
>>4705999Why are budgies so neotenous when compared to other parrots?
>>4706021>>4706011>>4705999Enjoy them while they are around.
