Aquaria blinked at the bird as he fluttered before her, with a very direct greeting. She'd heard the parrots could learn to mimic speech. But this seemed a bit... Clearer, than you'd expect a bird to be. She looks harder at the strange bird, looking for a clue as to his nature. "You're a strange creature, aren't you?" She muttered, nudging her nose to bump a his feathered chest.
"Good afternoon, I suppose." She replied a bit louder. Her ears twisted uncertainly. This island was full off all sorts of surprises. Glowing insects, huge flowers, talking birds. Nothing was as it seemed. It wasn't so very different from the world below, when she thought about it. There were fish that looked like rocks, octopi who could look like eels and coral branches. Not to mention basically every kind of sea horse that were practically invisible in their own habitats. So maybe it wasn't so far fetched that this bird was more than he seemed.
"Alright then, what are you, really?" She asked, suddenly certain that he couldn't possibly be just a parrot. Something about the eyes, and the colors, and a hundred other little things. It just didn't add up to "parrot". The rigid crest on her neck flared challengingly. Camouflage had all sorts of purposes. Sea horses used it to avoid being eaten. Rockfish used it to find other fish to eat. She wasn't sure yet what the birds intention was in disguising his true nature.
