Are Parrots Birdwatchers?



Luve Watching Chickadee Nestbox



Luve, a goffins cockatoo,  was having a fine day outside in a large flight cage.  I would go out periodically and mist the parrots with the hose.  They loved it! 

However, I soon noticed that Luve was fixated on the hanging nest box hung near my door.  A pair of busy Chestnut Backed Chickadees have been raising their family in there for the last couple of weeks. They have the perfect set up with the netted area being predator free.  They slip through the netting easily and are constantly bringing large juicy bugs to their babies.  Luve was enthralled!  She stopped all activity to watch and listen.  Does she realize what is going on?  Perhaps...
