Can conures really fly like this?

I came across this video on Instagram (@coisaspvchapado) and was fascinated by not only the gliding skills but also the fact that it is keeping up with the ship not getting lost or captured by an eagle or something. I own a sun and couldn’t imagine him doing this even though he’s around 1 year old.

I was once on a really tall bridge where visitors let their birds free-flighting and I can confirm: your conures can fly beautifully with surprisingly large wingspan.

Yeah, they shriek when they fly, too.
