Hi Everyone,

Have been following the discussion about footedness in birds. I am a WIRES foster-carer and have looked after a number of parrots and cockatoos. I would agree that gang-gangs, sulphur-cresteds and yellow-tailed blacks are left-footed. I have had right-footed crimson rosellas and galahs that didn't seem to mind which foot they used. At the moment I have a right-footed Major Mitchell.

I am now becoming confused, but will keep watching.

Jill
