Wow, that’s beautiful.
Did you know they eat clay to get their minerals?

Hm, maybe not. Wiki notes a study that casts doubt, suggesting that sodium is what macaws are going for in the clay licks. Minerals, or at least one crucial mineral.

The poisons go into the feathers.

It is a beautiful work of photography and a beautiful animal.
Incidentally, I used the exact same picture as a template when my mother asked me to paint her garage door with macaws (you may notice that one of the left wing’s primaries seems broken or shortened).

I’m sad that, in the past, I contributed to animal trafficking. I had two tamarins as pets (bought by my uncle). Such lovable creatures. I still miss them, but would never have another.
