A-Z: Handedness by alia_801

A-Z: Handedness

I've mentioned my girls' handedness a couple of times, so here's a pic of it in action... see if you can work out who's who!

Individuals of some species of parrot have the same dominant foot (often left), though individuals of other species have their own preferences, as with my sun conures. Young parrots often experiment with both feet before settling on one. They often have a dominant eye too (as do humans!), which is more often than not the same side as their dominant foot (but not always).

H is also for holiday... This is a very rushed post to get today's pic up before we head off for a week. The place we're going has no internet so no pics or comments from me for a week. Pics for I-N will get taken (but will be sun-conure free) and uploaded when I get back. See you all then!
They are so pretty alia and you captured it so pretty too!

I agree with the others, I think Phoenix is up high because I'm pretty sure you said she has the leg band. I haven't gone back to check though. Enjoy your time off Alia :)
