Video: Parrots learn to fly on active craters

On the Nindiri crater in Nicaragua, the parakeet learns to fly up or die in the volcano.

Long parrots fly here every year to dig burrows, nest in soft soil on the crater.

For at least 500 years, the offspring of a parakeet has been constantly learning how to soar over poisonous gases rising from Nindiri crater in Nicaragua, according to National Geographic.

In the video posted on Twitter on July 2, parakeets fly here every year to dig burrows, make nests in soft soil on the crater. The young bird then learns to fly up or fall to the bottom of 300 meters of the active volcano.

Scientists cannot explain why this animal can survive in a toxic environment but thinks that this environment helps them limit predators.

Long-haired parrots return to the crater to nest and let their young children learn to fly every year.(Video: National Geographic).
