    Default Tell me what you think about this video

    I came across this video on Instagram of a bird floating on its back. I think it’s distressed from its fast breathing and eye movement.

    What do you think....

    He looks like he's having a good time to me. Having a dip in the pool!

    I think he looks too scared to move cause he doesn't want to flip over and drown.

    This is what Mooches sorta does in my hand when I have to manhandle him and clean blood or stop bleeding, usually in between bouts of fighting like ****.
    I don't know enough about Lovebirds overall, just my Mooches, to judge the bird's reaction but I would never allow anyone to try this if I had a choice and if anyone tried this to my bird they'd find out what kind of damage a 220lbs angry ex-soldier can do.

    The lovebird really doesn't look stressed to me. The blinking eyes is to keep water out of them. He's floating in a sink and he could flip over and get out if he really wanted to. The water does not appear to be that deep. I will be the first to admit that I've never seen a lovebird do this but I have birds that LOVE water and do some strange things, given the chance!!

    There are no bad birds, just misunderstood ones.

    Interesting. I thought the complete opposite!
