I do completely agree with you : it's a typical nuptial parade/dance. This bird feels alone and misses a companion. I still wonder how a pet - even grown in a 100% human familly - can at first identify with the giants we are. Do they realize somewhere they are different ? Do they get frustrated on things we are able to and not them ?
+François Cauneau yes the bird regonizes him self in the mirror . I have a pyrrhura and Every time we Come a cross a reflection of him self he say Hi and his name (toekie). She learns quicker than a dog and are very affectioned and on some days she tries things how far she can go(wich she knows is not alloud) But when I say stop she stops . and Let alone all the other commamds I mean why wouldnt they recognize them self and I agree they should get a friend .
Most lone parrots tend to form "mating bonds" with a human, which is why they are much easier to tame than a parrot who has access to others of its kind.
Parrot: "Hey there, beautiful-- no that isn't good.." *Turns away from mirror and thinks of another one* *turns back to mirror* Parrot: "What's crackin'? I've never seen a beautiful bird like you in my life--- oh nonono" *Turns away again and thinks of another one* "CanIhaveyouraddressCanIhaveyouradressCanIhaveyouradressyousobeautifuuuul??"
Such an interesting behavior. It seems like she is either trying to or succeeding to realize that she's seeing her own reflection. Not many animals can recognize themselves in a mirror. Its also possible that this is not the case due to the fact that she is vocalizing as if to call out to the bird in the mirror but look at the way she keeps going back to the wall, the solid ordinary surface, as if comparing what she see's there to what she see's in the mirror. Whatever the case may be the cogs in her head are definitely spinning. She's trying to figure it out. She's smart.
+Shelly Hassler This is mating dance behavior from a male and so it's most likely a male. You can also see he's regurgitating (2:24). This dance involves a lot of "peekabooing", as in going away from the mirror or lowering the head not to be seen and then showing up quickly again as they pin their eyes and make a sound. This is why they are often called peekaboo parrots. I have a male ringneck who is also obsessed with mirrors, windows (when there's a bit of reflection, especially during night) and even his own shadow. If I don't provide a mirror for him he'll go for a vague reflection like in a window but from what I've seen it doesn't seem as enjoyable as a clean mirror. It seems having had access to a clean mirror for a while wears the obsession down a bit and he won't go after other reflections as much. While eating fruit their beak might get messy and you'll see them try to clean it after (or even during sometimes) having eaten. I've seen him with a small chunk of fruit on his beak in front of a mirror and he doesn't seem to notice. So I guess he doesn't recognize himself according to that famous mirror test. If I had to guess I think them seeing another ringneck triggers mating behavior. Kinda like porn to us humans, but I think in this case the dance itself might be their way of masturbation.
+Shelly Hassler Her behavior is obvious that she is self aware and enjoying seeing her reflection in the mirror. Similar to some behavior exhibited by dolphins.
+Marlies Marie Loise Doering Birds bond better with humans if you only buy one of them. If you buy them in pairs, they mostly disregard you. If you can't give them the attention they need, yeah, get them a partner, but if you plan on giving them a lot of your time they're fine just bonding with their owner
+Marlies Marie Loise Doering Actually, no, he doesn't (provided this is actually a male. It's probably a male, given the displaying behavior, but with Indian Ringnecks there are lutino mutations). This, I think, is the most common misconception with parrots aside from the belief that their diet should consist of seeds only and they'll be fine. These birds, provided they form a bond with their owner(s) and are socialized properly, are completely fine without a 'partner'. I own a cockatiel, just one bird, and he is thriving. The same goes for lovebirds, budgies, macaws, cockatoos, and all parrots, really. They just need owners who actually are educated on their needs.
Indian Ringneck parrots are really cool, they look really magnificentlyand ere extremely cute. My ex girlfriend had a female one. She (the parrot) talked and feed the mirror, so cute. :)
What a narcissism.Hes absolutly obessesd with the mirror:"Yeah.Look at me,Im so pretty.I must be the prettiest boy in the world.......I should sing a love song for me!@!"
it's like he's kinda onto the idea that he's looking at his reflection but he's not sure and keeps testing it lol. definitely higher intelligence. a dummy like a robin will repeatedly run into a glass window all day long thinking it's duking it out with a rival male.
my little fellow is a Latino and he never shuts up. he says (and plays) peekaboo, your so cute, whatcha doing, whatcha doing pica to the other bird, I love you, come here, give me kiss, step up, and hi then he waves with his foot and he is only two. i need to post some videos of him.
1:28 That face is like, "How dare you interrupt our conversation." XD
xXPicklePeaXx 😂😂😂😂😂😂 true
No not for me
he's like "who is that handsome devil?"
