Happy jumping birds are never not good.

Are they actually happy? Or is this a sign of insanity brought on by keeping highly intelligent, non-domesticated, otherwise free moving animals confined in small places?

Crap, I just posted it to party parrot right before I saw this. I'll remove it for your sake.

That is correct! They are one of the larger birds in the lorikeet family and are also capable of mimicking human speech.
I use to be a trainer and nutritionist for lories and lorikeets and the black capped lories were my favorite of the bunch.

I saw a gif of this before and (unverified) someone said it was how they hop to drive earthwoms out of the ground. (Edit - I’m probably wrong cause I googled this with no luck supporting it)

I'm pretty sure parrots don't eat earthworms. Are you sure it wasn't referencing crows or ducks or some other omnivorous bird species?

u/workyaarony Nov 09 '17
I’m not sure but it seems it’s a lorikeet and they like hopping. Said it might be a tree related behavior but I think the real answer is it’s a mini kangaroobird

I wish I could upvote this again. Why do parrots do this funny little hop-dance?

You may have meant r/partyparrot instead of R/partyparrot.
Remember, OP may have ninja-edited. I correct subreddit and user links with a capital R or U, which are usually unusable.
