Parrots are among the smartest species of birds in the world and are definitely not simple “bird brains.” The colorful and clever birds have captured the imaginations and hearts of people all over the world. When most people think of parrots the image that pops up in their mind is of one sitting on a pirate’s shoulder, maybe even sporting a matching eye patch.
While this popular image has endured throughout history and culture, it doesn’t do parrots any justice. They are so much more fun and complex than some old sea captain’s sidekick, and they require a lot of attention, love, and training to truly thrive and be all that they can be.
The beautiful orange, white, and green feathered parrot in this video is proof of how energetic and fun loving parrots are. The black headed Caique, a parrot subspecies, knows how to get down and boogey when the music gets turned up.
The sprightly little fellow dances an Irish jig just as good, if not even better, than the professional River Dancers do! He jumps up and down, kicks, and pulls off some sweet high stepping moves to an Irish tune called “Emerald.” It’s awesome to see this bird’s energetic, hippity-hoppity display, and it’s safe to say this parrot has one superb natural talent.
While parrots are best known for their speaking abilities, they can be trained to do a number of other tricks. Many are taught to fly through hoops, retrieve things, sing on command, and even roller skate or ride a bicycle!
They have great memories and recall abilities, and with positive reinforcement, time, and dedication, they can learn all sorts of cool tricks. Check out this one’s dance routine and you’ll see how awesome they really are!
