Portrait Of A Parrot

Posted by Nishana Minhaz (Calicut / Kochi, India) on 21 February 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Our pet parrot, just after eating a biscuit my brother gave him. U should see the rate at which he gobbles down food! He goes crazy just at the sight of it.. Nevertheless, he's an awesome companion.. Sometimes, he n I have entire conversations, though neither o' us understands a word of what the other is sayin.. ;)

PS: This pic is highly cropped, so it mite not be as sharp as I mite hope it to be..

My family also had a parrot when we were kids, but it escaped after biting my Dad's finger :P

Nice shot! as a kid even I had a pet parrot who would repeat words and phrases commonly spoken in our household

@Hinah: yes.. he talks a lot..esp soon after gettin food :) he has his own vocabulary, bt what amazes me is that he can say tata n wave his hand! wel not exactly wave the way we humans do, but he lifts one hand (read leg) up n opens n closes his fist..n ive never seen any parrot do that before. all in all, he's loadsa fun! :)
