How Well Does Your Parrot Adapt to Changes?

Have you ever wonder how well will your parrot adapt to changes? We all know that parrots are sensitive creatures, and changes in the environment tend to lead them into extreme fear and stress. Like I always mention on my previous posts, parrots are like little kids. They behave like one and think like one.

Just imagine, when you bring a young child into a new room, a completely new environment where he or she has never visited. Chances are he or she will retreat and stick close to you, because there’s this little fear within him or her making him or her reluctant to explore the new place. These same goes for parrots too.

Kiki’s Unrevealed Videos – Together

Kermit, my Senegal Parrot, the only angel left in the family, had some changes in his behaviors. He’s really quiet most of the time and less active. Probably, he realized that Kiki was no longer there to bug him. Kermit is not the only experiencing the change, including me and my family members were still missing all the fun and laughter brought over by Kiki.

Life is indeed monotonous without Kiki now. I’ve to admit the blog started to be a little less exciting without the presence and updates of Kiki.

Lately, I tried to dig out some unrevealed videos and pictures of Kiki to share with everyone. Here’s another video captured on 23rd May this year, featuring Kiki with Kermit on the playstand:

These was the closest they can get. Kiki was expecting a share of the food with Kermit, but Kermit seemed couldn’t be bothered by Kiki’s reaction. Probably Kermit was still living in his own world at that stage!

Kermit’s Basketball Trick Training

After 2 weeks of training, with a 5 minutes short training session daily, I managed to get Kermit to perform the Basketball Trick. I’m really glad that Kermit finally made it, despite he took a long while to understand and meeting the objective.

I’ve edited a short clip of the performance and uploaded to YouTube, hope everyone will enjoy the video:

Kiki’s Unrevealed Videos – Napping

It’s already the 15th day since Kiki went missing during one incident. Till now, we still have no news about Kiki. My family members and I have learned to accept the truth that Kiki will never come back. We do hope she’s definitely doing well now and some friendly souls will take good care of her.

In order to commemorate Kiki, I had decided to share some of the unrevealed videos of Kiki and releasing a special video collection of Kiki in my coming posts. I’m also planning for a campaign to commemorate Kiki, so do stay tune to the blog for details.

Kiki’s Pull a Car Trick at The Best Trick Competition

Don’t worry if you missed Kiki’s performance at The Best Trick Competition, one of the segment in the National Day Parakeet Competition 2008 held at Lim Chu Kang, Farmart.

I’ve managed to get hold of a short preview of Kiki performing one of her favorite trick – Pull a Car Trick, in the event. Apologised for the poor quality and fuzzy images of the video.

Love or Hate?

During this evening, I was lucky to capture a funny video of Kermit. He never fails to make people laugh at his silly acts.

Lately I just bought Kermit a toy ball. I took nearly a week for him completely get use to it and not fear of it. This evening, I was lured by ear-splitting rings from the toy ball and I decided to take a look at what Kermit was messing about.

For a moment, he was lying on his back enjoying and playing with the ball. He did look like a seal juggling with a ball at that moment. Few minutes later, I saw him tossing madly and forcing the toy ball out of his territory.

So is that Love or Hate? Perhaps you shall be the judge.

Kiki’s Tunnel Trick

Back to the basics again. This round no fancy props, but common empty paper towel roller that can be found in almost every household. So what Kiki going to perform this time with the empty roller?

Just like what the title says, it’s her own Tunnel Trick. A relatively simple trick, but interesting and fun trick that able to kill any boredom and motivating her to continue to learn new things.

Why Do Parrots Stoned At Times?

Kermit Stoned

Ever thought why your parrots stoned at times? To my knowledge and experiences, parrot stoned when they were alarmed (e.g. other noise or any other threats) or even out of fear.

During the late afternoon when I was in the kitchen doing some household cleaning and leaving Kermit on his playstand. It’s an unusual afternoon, usually Kermit will established contact calls with me whenever I’m out of sight. Strangly enough he was totally quiet. I tried initiating a contact call by whistling to Kermit, he didn’t response any of my calls. I didn’t feel quite comfortable about this, thus I went to the living room to check whether Kermit was alright.

Kermit was on the play-stand but he looked really stoned. He was completely stoned with a pine nut shell in his beak and not doing anything. I observed the surroundings whether there’s any things, wild birds or insects that triggered him to going to this state. Apparently there wasn’t! This went on for nearly 15 minutes, I immediately reached for my camera phone to capture this rare moment.

I’m still wondering whether was there really things that caught his attention which resulted him to stone, or was he really indulging to the classical music that I played in the background?

I think only he has the answers to the questions.
