This is a report that was on our local TV station:

They show so many great parrots. Of course, my favourite is the little quaker. I saw him last year and the parrot conference, and he was a model for a first aid course. I am looking forward to this weekend. We will attend the workshop they mention (introduction to parrots) and another one on clickertraining.

That was fun to watch. I love the little quaker cameo at the end. Head-bobbing and all!

Thanks, I am glad you like it as much as I did.
Here are some of my pictures from last year at the conference.
That's where I fell in love with the quaker and registered here. That quaker was so good during the first aid course...I still don't have a quaker. I have budgies.

Wow---how interesting----

I just want to comment that God gave us so many beautiful birds----I could just sit and look at them all day long.....thanks for the link......... smile.gif

You are welcome.. smile.gif
There are so many different parrots...I wonder how people choose. I never knew much about large parrots. That's why I have budgies. The internet opened a whole new world for me. I didn't even know quakers existed before I saw them in Florida....

What kind is the brilliant blue bird at the end? He's beautiful! Of course, they ALL are, but I never saw one like him before.

That is a hawkhead parrot. It is the same bird that is shown in the TV show. Sometimes he puts up those feathers...and that looks really unusual. I will try to get more pictures at the parrot conference tomorrow!!!
