Thanks for pointing that out so the credit can go to the right people! They did a WONDERFUL job showing us your awesome wild flocks of parrots that most of us will never get to see 'up close'!

[werecatgirl]

man i would lvoe to go to Australia and sit amongst a flock a wild parrots

[commando20111]

i am very happy to see the birds in air of australia

every one should allow their caged bird to fly freely indoor once or twice a day

so they are happy and feel independent

3:23 My female 'Tiel does that too.

[BlackSheep1002]

This will be my English Referat ? ^^

[pizzabezorgster]

Oh and this movie is BEAUTIFUL !!!!

[mohdhmg]

@birdlady423 i agree, i had several exotic birds sneak into my home because of the air conditioning, simply because they have been captured and brought over from foreign countries, and escaped from their owners. After owning a pet parrot that way, and though i find it hard to think of my self getting another pet bird ever again.

@werecatgirl

yeah and being a typical human, you'd probably also love to capture one of those wild parotts, lock it up in a 2x2 foot cage and teach it to mimic silly human words for the rest of its life...for your "entertainment". lol.
