Monk Parakeets Exhibit Social Standing Behaviors In New Study
A recently published study sheds new light on the pecking order in parrots and factors that might change flock dynamics. Researchers at the University of Cincinnati observed interactions among flocks of captive monk parakeets (also commonly referred to as quaker parrots) in 2021 and 2023 to identify the parrots with the most status; that is, the ones who tended to be the most aggressive. Their study found some surprising outcomes when the more dominant parrots were returned to the flock after a brief stint away compared to their more docile flock mates.
