This guy has macaws that are trained to fly free but they always come back home. You can actually train parrots to do this.

Getting your parrot to fly is the best way for them to get exercise so they don't become obese like most pets. Although there's always the risk of them encountering a raptor.

I think doves get too much flak for their nests. Instead of seeing them as "shitty", I like to think of them as "daring". I think this bold and enterprising strategy gives them a leg up, because they can utilize nesting areas other birds can't. Do these nests sometimes fail? Yes. But that's the price of the pioneering spirit. I hope some more nest in Null's new American bunker.

THIS ISN'T DARING, THIS IS A PRELUDE TO A SCRAMBLED EGG!!!! THE ONLY THING PIGEONS ARE PIONEARING IS NEW WAYS TO BE TAKEN OFF THE PIGEON CENSUS!!!!

WE DID THIS TO THEM!!! WE MADE THEM STUPID!!!

Respectfully, I disagree.
 
Cranes’ mating dance


Sometimes if they’re raised in captivity and cared for by a human they’ll imprint on that person as their ‘mate.’ Like this one

This one too


I have two new brown thrashers that have taken up residence in my back yard, one adult and a young one that follows him/her around waiting to be fed (haven’t been able to get a pic yet bc they’re very shy and easily spooked.)

so here’s an old pic of the OG thrasher. The adults try to chase each other away but so far the newbies are holding their ground.

I had a nice sit on the balcony with the neighborhood family of currawongs today. One kept singing at me, and a couple were even brave enough to hop on the railing and snatch the piece of chicken I had left for them. Cheeky little fellas.

I love cranes too. The one in your third pic is the one I posted about, ‘Walnut.’ She died last year at the ripe old age of 42! This guy, Chris Crowe, was her keeper/human ‘mate’ at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute’s (NZCBI) campus in Front Royal, Virginia for 20 years. She was an endangered species of crane.

RIP Walnut. I'm glad they had 8 chicks together.

I love this image so much. Baby critically endangered Siberian Cranes at the Oka Nature Reserve Crane Breeding Center in Russia. They try to prevent human imprinting with these crane costumes.
