Video: Larry the parrot 'flirts' with curator, netizens say 'beautiful bird'

A short video clip of an African grey parrot flirting with his curator has left the internet amused. The 45-second video clip which was shared on Facebook by Atlanta Zoo, shows Larry, the parrot flirting with Becky, who happens to be the associate curator of Ambassador Animals in the zoo. The clip not only shows the bird shaking its body nut also captures the moment when his cheeks turn pink.

In the video, the grey coloured parrot could be seen shaking his body and wings robustly as Backy questions him. As the clip progresses, Larry could be seen turning his head, with his check flushing. The clip ends by showing the bird rubbing his cheeks into his feet. 

In the caption, the zoo describes that they found out the bird was being flirty from his ‘ body language cues’. "You can tell he’s super-flirty because of the flush in his cheeks, the shake in his body, and the lift in his head feathers", they explained. However, they wrote that the bird shakes for many reasons including cold or fear. However, it was the combination of certain body language cues which made them conclude that the bird was actually flirting.
