Kick ass video and action by you both Eve. Well done!

I see how beautiful they are as animals, and sure it must be amazing to be up close to such wonderful and colourful birds. But I'd much rather see them from further away, even through binoculars etc in their natural environment. I don't understand these people who would keep such birds in cages. Tbh, i never understood birds as pets! Even as a child I saw instinctually that by its very nature, a bird shouldn't be caged.

Maybe no animal should be caged, full stop. But when you're 5 years old you want a pet/companion. I had a hamster for years, then we got a cat. But birds need to fly, simple as that. Their instinct is to fly. Even my hamsters got to walk about my room every day when I let them out, much to my mother's annoyance as it would leave little droppings everywhere lol

But my friend had a budgie, and when ever he let it out the poor thing just flew madly about before cowering in the corner of the ceiling. I distinctly remember being angry about it, even at such a young age.

Anyway, you and @el-cr are both kindred spirits. I would have done the same.... but probably would have got a beating or a machete swung at me.
