The above photos tell the story of an evening scene in our garden on a rainy day !
Although the pictures above are photographically of poor quality, I felt an urge to show some of them to illustrate the heightened level of body co-ordination of a Parakeet at a height on a slender branch, which was swaying in the wind !
Right after fetching a ripe Rambutan the parakeet used one leg to support itself and used the other leg to hold the rambutan. The peeling of the shell and pecking on the pulp were well co-ordinated by balancing on a moving branch. It was a sight to behold !
At one stage after consuming most of the fruit it dropped the shell and turned to fetch another one!
I felt I was watching a gymnastic performance.
I attempted videoing, but with the wind and the rain, it was even more blurred than the photos.
A sense of celebration dawned on me that a Parakeet is so skilled that it overcomes challenges confidently and easily! There was no sign of giving up at any stage during the thirty five minutes I noticed two feeding cycles.
A a parakeet is an overcomer!
Persevering is its normal habit!
