A snippet from Sam’s 2006 World Parrot Trust Blog

July 22nd
“On Thursday I visited a nest in a 20meter cliff where the roomy cavity is a little above half way. I abseiled down, and after adjusting my position, I peered into the cavity. The chick voiced his (or her) surprise and climbed up the step to the right. This would make it difficult to extract him and weigh him. He didn’t sit still though and with flapping wings jumped back into the middle of the nest and then half flew up the slope to the left. Then he slid all the way back down, flapping like crazy the whole time. So then he was back in the middle, but with his wings still going and so he took off again but this time right towards my face, landing right next to my hand. It was perfect I just flattened him before he went any further, got my fingers in the right places and then picked him up. It was just one of those great moments and I was laughing like crazy. I keep thinking the chicks must be ready to go soon and this one definitely was!”
