That's weird. I was talking about that with my mom last night. Ever notice how almost all birds bob their heads when they walk? IIRC, that's actually because of the way they're built. They actually are not able to walk without bobbing their heads. Personally, I think sparrows hopping around are rather cute. I believe that they are capable of walking, but it's just not efficient for tiny birds like that. BTW, why parrots? I can't remember the last time I saw a parrot walking.
