Love his sweet babyness! Now that Pirate is a young adult, does he still dance for himself in the mirror?

He mostly sings to himself in the mirror and does his heart wings, practicing being attractive lol. Pirate is a bit unique in that he seems to have realized a mirror is a mirage. I don't know if he knows that it is his reflection, but when he was little he started to experiment with mirrors, going to the edge and looking on either side, trying to understand why there was a bird on one side, but nothing behind. If I let him look at a hand mirror, he would run around it in circles trying to learn what was happening. I really think he thinks it is a screen, like when I watch a bird video.
He would actually start by putting his forehead on the lip of the mirror, and then quickly extending his head to peek at the glass side and then whipping it around to look at the other side. He seemed to figure out the image in the mirror was just an image and not three dimensional. When he first started looking into mirrors he acted afraid like he does with other birds. But now, he just seems to use it to practice puffing himself up lol.

I'm hoping that in replaying this video many times, Pepper will learn to wolf whistle. ONE of the birds knows how to wolf whistle, I just can't tell which one!

That was cute! Lucy loves my iPad and my iPhone, lol when they're black she sees her reflection, and when they're on she loves all the colors and everything. I haven't put her in front of a mirror.... YET! Gunna go try that now!

Pirate is so smart to figure out mirrors. I love that story and the video. Thanks for sharing. It makes me want a baby but I must resist. I just adopted two weeks ago a 15 year old hen. I don't think she would appreciate a youngster for a cage mate. It has only been two weeks, plus she is at the end of a moult. I am hoping she will get more personality as time goes by. For now she is friendly enough and very tame but a bit of a cranky old hen.
