We love our parrots of the world

Hey, the address for this blog is “blue quaker”, right? Well in actuality a quaker is a type of small Brazilian parrot, also known as a monk parakeet. What can I say, I’m a big quaker fan, and a big parrot fan in general. In fact, when I need to lighten up, I go over to youtube and watch all the funny parrot videos I can find. I think watching funny videos of cute parrots can be beneficial to everyone. So, at no cost to you, the reader, I am providing you with a portal of a whole variety of my favourite parrot vids, conveniently organized by species. You can thank me after you have viewed at least some of them.

And finally a link to a very special, well-written tribute to the world’s most famous parrot, Alex, who challenged old notions of avian intelligence. http://palemaleirregulars.blogspot.com/2007/09/alex-has-died.html

I apologise for the scripting errors–sometimes even wordpress has me stumped. Man, do I hate all these spaces though.

Hi Eric,
Why no Quaker videos so far? I’m on the Quaker Parakeet Society list serve and I know that there are several youtube clips of Quakers.

Also, are you interested in the memorials to Alex, the famous African grey parrot who died in September? http://alexfoundation.org/

Also http://www.viewsource.com/alex
There are several links here to Alex clips that are really amazing.

I acknowledge the lack of Quaker vids–save for the very interesting ones to be found at brooklynparrots.com. I’m constantly going to fill in this blog entry as I find more cute parrot vids.

Hey great links, you should add some vasa parrot youtubes videos!!! They can be hard to find since not many people have vasa parrots, but I do and sadly no videos.
