Parrots find ‘laughter’ contagious and high-five in mid air

Very interesting. I think this ties in with Milton and his responses. His trigger seems to be when people display happiness...he responds in kind.

The biggest response always comes with "The Price Is Right"...everything is right with the world when it's on ...at least to Milty.

Unusual thing...the stage show of TPIR is coming to town soon. When the TV ad came on (with the same theme music) Milty began to dance and vocalize, just like the beginning of the show. He kept looking at the TV even after the commercial was over like, "Is it over, already?"

That is so cute! It is a very upbeat show!

Very interesting ...I know when I start laughing at Tyrion when he does something funny it gets him all riled up and then he starts laughing and round and round we go

Thanks for sharing! I know my birds are generally more active if I am animated and happy.

I've just found, this evening, that my boys love '60's folk singers. Especially if I sing along We listened to Joan Baez, Simon and Garfunkle, Gordon Lightfoot...
