Bodhi, my resident Amazon parrot just discovered a "new arrival" and enthusiastically went over for a "colourful" welcome. Well, sort of.
In the historical meeting between the New World parrot (i.e. South American Amazon parrot, Bodhi) and the Old (i.e. Indonesian Ducorp Cockatoo, Casper), colours fly and crest rises.
It is the first time I see Bodhi flare his fullest, displaying the striking Amazon colours he has been hidding from us. Beautiful as it can be, it does signify his wish to challenge Casper and show that he is the alpha of the flock, who in return, raised his crest and puff up in defence. I guess its a confrontation of two male egos. =)
Bodhi...is that how you welcome your new friend? tsk tsk
Below are some photos of the episode before they are separated:
Sweet Casper hiss and protest like a baby.
Bodhi continuing to flare and display even after being returned to his abode.
