These Tricks Are For the Birds

As I was browsing YouTube recently, I found some really cute videos of birds doing tricks. Did you know that birds are highly intelligent creatures that can be trained to do all kinds of things? Just like a dog! I'm not just talking about being able to talk either. Here are some of my favorite videos of bird tricks that I watched.

Love bird doing a trick.

The first one is a type of bird called a Caique (pronounced Ky - eek). Caiques are fun birds that are sometimes referred to as the "clowns" of the parrot family.


Next up, is a budgie - or parakeet - that can balance on a tennis ball! Dogs aren't the only ones who love their balls. I think it's pretty cool how he is able to get his ball out from under the table all by himself.


And finally, I watched a video of a Senegal parrot that knows how to do lots of different tricks. Here's a video of Kili the Senegal parrot playing dead. 


So which trick is your favorite?

  7. Leo sticks to a good old fashioned "Eagle' as his favorite. Though "dead parrot" is getting more fun and he always asks to "shake." The only problem with his "shake" is he forgets to let go of our finger...
