The Top Perch Manager
Your Capricorn bird knows what time it is. They know when you wake, when the cage cover comes off, when out of cage time begins and when it is bedtime, and they will politely remind you if the schedule slips. Ruled by Saturn, this is the parrot who climbs to the top perch every morning like a manager arriving at the corner office.
As a cardinal earth sign, your Capricorn likes to start things properly and see them through. They are patient, sensible and dignified, with a dry humor that sneaks up on you. Earn their respect, keep your promises about bedtime, and they will be the steadiest companion you have ever had.

- Summit seekerThe highest perch is the only proper perch, reached rung by rung, never rushed.
- Dignified step-upNo scrambling. They step onto your hand calmly, like signing a contract.
- Patient learnerA new trick takes its time, then is never forgotten.
