Nesting: Drawings by Stacy Slaten
Fall-Winter 2020
“The bonds formed between mated pairs of parrots are among the strongest known in the animal kingdom. They rival the bonds humans create. We can observe in their behavior actions similar to human affection such as spending a large amount of time in actual physical contact to their mate, shared nest-building and rearing young, and defense of their territory. We also see parrots take this strong need for connection into our homes, forming bonds with their chosen humans much like in the wild.”
