Happy Parrot, Pedro loves to stand on his head

[@origamiswami2275]

Whoever that is laughing, she seems to love it even more than Pedro.

[@lockandloadlikehell]

She's having a good time

[@hadla]

I swear caiques do things just to make us laugh!

@Talon Van Instablaster :)

[@talonvan4489]

@Remington Zechariah Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@talonvan4489]

@Remington Zechariah It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my account :D

[@remingtonzechariah6687]

@Talon Van you are welcome =)

[@tthomaselli2]

Oh, dear!... Look at him go. Pedro is so cute, too!...

[@LadyhawksLairDotCom]

FYI, there is nothing wrong with this parrot except that he's a caique. Caiques are the slapstick comedians of the parrot family. I almost wish I could get one, but I already have a difficult species that can become aggressive if I don't watch what I'm doing.

[@dr.altoclef9255]

They seem to do the 'rub head against things' often, maybe he just got a little too enthusiastic with it and ended up on his head.

[@shaun7057]

If you notice he is paying attention to his human and looks on for approval it looks like

[@incensejunkie7516]

Pedro just made my week! Caiques are the best, such clowns. He needs his own channel, would love to see more videos of him!

[@lynz45]

incense junkie yes, i would love to see more videos too!

[@zanottma]

I've had a yellow thigh White Bellied Caique for 6 years and am quite familiar with their antics. Yes, this one pegs the "Cute" meter, too. Caiques are a BLAST !

[@crashstitches79]

Can't understand why this isn't viral.

[@MarieKerns]

The little guy knows that he has a captive audience :D

[@lynz45]

Oh my gosh, he is so comical, i can't believe it!!!!!! I am owned by 3 Caiques and have never seen this before. He is adorable!

[@l.b.5892]

Pedro is loving the attention 💕

[@scoochas84]

freaking adorable

[@biancad4154]

Yes they are clowns. Hilarius birds. But they also eat your furniture, clothes, curtains and they need constant attention just like 3 year old. Still love my little one 💞

[@dr.altoclef9255]

From what I've read caique parrots do this. The assumption is that this is how they clean themselves off in the wild...they rub up against wet leaves and such to get all clean. I'm guessing Pedro here got a little too enthusiastic about it? Also I've heard that parrots like attention, so of course if this new thing he's discovered gets him tons of praise and reaction from people he's gonna keep doing it because his owners make all sorts of fun excited noises when he does it.

[@maulbrooks5699]

they drag themselves along the ground in wet grass to clean off. This head standing and rubbing the head is to spread the wax from the base of the feathers through the feathers for water proofing. Australian parrots are more flexible and can do it by beak, but caiques tend to use thier claws and rub their heads

[@origamiswami2275]

I make all sorts of fun, excited noises when he does it, too. Most sorts, anyway. Or some. Some sorts. Okay, a couple sorts. Anyway, I'm thinking of trying it myself. What could go wrong? At worst, I'd probably just get dizzy and clean the dust bunnies out of the corners of my house.

[@dolehmama3626]

Excellent j'adore ❤

[@EliYoungjohn]

The music is so fitting, he's hilarious

[@richardzanetta3253]

He must be into yoga?lol

[@jled99]

This is the best. Love it!!

[@浜っ子-l8u]

この子凄過ぎるーッ！🤣🤣🤣

[@frmbeats3672]

He need definitly some LED LIGHTS on his STAGE :D

[@cornelisstad4029]

How do we know his brains are ok by behaving so ?

[@jukingeo]

Oh come now....I hope you didn't spike that bird's drink!

[@TinaBell-n7g]

Pineapple upside down skittle chicken❤ seattlerockrrgrrrl

[@RyanMetz]

That was hilarious

[@saimanaz4172]

Wonderful 💕👍💖

[@parmanandkushwaha7589]

Veri nice

[@tthomaselli2]

How did you get Pedro to do that, exactly?...

[@triptichoudhary4336]

he is soooooooooooooooo cute

[@HupfDole87]

either a medical issue, or he is simply trained to do that by the laughing. animals tend to repeat things if they are rewarded for it. maybe he knows that laughing is a positive thing so he does that alot.

[@maulbrooks5699]

Nope. Caiques are just like this, they dont need any positive reinforcement to do it. They are highly intelligent and can be trained, but they do all these things in the wild - like dragging themselves on their stomach along the ground by their beak, or hopping, or kind of dancing with one leg out and then the other, rolling themselves up in leaves or cloth, and spending a vast amount of time on their backs or upside down. This rubbing the head and standing on the head is just a crazy way of spreading the wax from the follicles through the feathers. Just unique little birds

[@barbaralynn63]

Oh no! I just read the comments. Is there anything wrong with him? If not, he's hysterical!

[@dr.altoclef9255]

No, apparently Caique parrots just...do that. I've read that it's how they clean their feathers in the wild, they rub against leaves and trees to get their feathers wet or something? I'm guessing he got a little too enthusiastic about it?

[@malmonte9088]

Jajaja

[@秋瓊陳]

会倒立，讚!

[@a.mie.533]

= D Wow !!!

[@Danijones4571]

Why does he drag his head along the ground afterwards??? :')

[@LadyhawksLairDotCom]

Because caiques are goofballs.

[@lynz45]

Rio Hemmings my Caiques drag their head while looking underneath a door.

[@dr.altoclef9255]

I read that Caique parrots do that in the wild, probably to get clean. They'll rub up against wet leaves and the like.

[@maulbrooks5699]

They are just crazy and use unique ways to spread the wax from the base of the feathers throughout the feathers on their head for waterproofing

[@origamiswami2275]

Because he can.

[@אפרתכרמלי-ג2ק]

Is it possible that the parrot saw family members that do exercises such as: standing on the head and the parrot imitates you ? 😃 Otherwise from where the parrot learnt that? Efrat. Israel

[@alannawentworth6066]

If this action is a new development or recent (not a taught trick), I'm concerned that he might have nerve damage. This behavior is abnormal and a common symptom of nerve damage.

[@verticalsmurf]

+Alanna Wentworth It's concerning but they haven't bothered to reply to any comments. Poor bird.

[@theresearchwriter4060]

verticalsmurf u call this bhvior SURFING. Common to caiques

[@hadla]

There’s nothing wrong with him. All caiques are like this. There’s a reason people call them the clowns of the parrot world!

[@sofia-pb9uw]

I READ SOMEWHERE THAT IF YOUR ANIMAL DO THAT ITS SOMETHING BAD. IF YOU READ THE COMMENTS I HOPE YOU GO HIM TO A VET. HE IS HURT AND YOU THING HE IS PLAYING. THIS IS A SIGNAL LIKE OTHER SAID.

[@Ged]

I read somewhere that reading things somewhere is cancer. You might want to get that checked out.
