[quote name='Tatonka' post='10798' date='Apr 25 2008, 06:44 AM']Yeah, I know the feeling. Its like being bit by a parrot with a razor sharp beak.[/quote]
Sorry Tatonka but I have kept lorikeets ,parakeets ,& parrots.The Parrots in Australia are the only birds known that can crack a macadamia nut !This is because they are unique in having a beak where both the upper & lower sections are articulated enabling them to exert trememdous pressure. They can ,if so inclined ,crack the bones in your fingers & toes ! A squid bite is like a loves kiss compared to a Parrot bite !
