Parrot Confused by Laser Pointer

how sweet :D

Unfortunately there is this evidence of humans having the same reaction to a laser pointer:

"I wonder if there is any human equivalent to what animals experience when they encounter a laser pointer’s red dot." It makes me think of all those movies where something horrible but mysterious is happening on the horizon, and everyone is just standing around and staring with "what the f..." expressions on their faces.

humans do have an equivalent. boobies!

I use the pointer on my cats, but I feel they make most dogs too crazy. I think dogs need the satisfaction of catching something. The dogs that I have witnessed chasing a laser became frantic, over excited, and borderline violent. It did not even seem like they were having fun.
