Yes exactly that, being in the right place at the right time but knowing how to be really quiet so as not to disturb it so the recording can continue.
Speaking of which I'm sitting here typing this as quietly as possible as I have Indy being so very quiet (highly unusual for an Indian Ringneck Parrot...) and dad asleep next to me too..just took a photo...
There will be a story of rescue with Indy featuring in that very soon too.
Thankyou for valuing my post so highly, I am very chuffed that you think it's that good! 😊
So strange as I saw this guy driving around in his car here with one of those.
Looking forward to your story with Indy.
I believe that a good post should be recognized as such and a pity that your post was not noticed.
Have a good weekend.

Beautiful birds but soooo LOUD! Their high pitched screeches are enough to shatter eardrums...
Thank you re: Lyrebird, but it doesn't matter. It got noticed by the people that matter to me- like you...😊
Stay footloose and Covid free if you can!
Oh yes, we looked after an African Grey parrot for a friend once and it was a nightmare in our house with his screams.
What a nice thing to say about the people that matter to you. I certainly think that you are on the right track.
Born free as free as the wind blows and same to you.

Well Indy screams for attention and as she never gets any, the screeching continues and then she gets attention that she doesn't want, need or deserve...but to her even that horrible attention is still attention, so she keeps screeching...Now that I'm here and she's hanging out on my chest for most of the day, there's no need to call for attention and when she is back in her prison, she still doesn't feel the need to screech for attention because I'm giving her enough.
So I know that she's going to be loud in my apt, but nowhere near as much or as often as she is now as she won't be imprisoned and ignored, she'll be hanging with me, allowed to fly around as much as she wants, except when I have to go to work and since, my hours have dropped dramatically to the point where I am now looking for another job, I'll have plenty of time at home with her..
Oh yes, she can sense your love for her and your attention and presence means a lot to her.
One of my friends had two birds that was all over him every day, picking at his ears and sleeping on his chest. Then he ended up in hospital for a long period and both birds died.
So one must take care that a bird doesn't become too dependent, as they have to be taught self reliance. Take care that she doesn't become too dependent on you.

Well the longterm plan is to eventually get her socialised with other birds so she can go to live happily with them in a sanctuary.
That's where birds should be- with other birds, flying around and living as naturally as they can as domesticated, hand raised birds can be...
Oh yes, that's a good idea and hopefully she will go to a big place where there is enough space to fly around.
We stand for the freedom of all wild animals and birds, but many that are born in captivity will not make it back in the wild, so the best is to make them as comfortable as possible.
