[@ShonnMorris]

What a cool backyard bird

[@jorgemaldonadoperez4618]

El planeta nesecita mas seres humanos asi consientes con la naturaleza👍

[@Hirundo-demersalis]

That's an impressive flock of velociraptors you have there.

[@jr0835]

You are correct. I call them and they fly down to me and land on my head, shoulders and arms. They have claws like a cat so they can hang on to tree limbs. I get a lot of bloody scratches from them.

[@gerardog2663]

Your backyard is great.

“They do move in herds”

[@0101018888]

That is so beautifull I had 2, raised them from eggs that fell from a palm tree ... I miss my pet birds...

[@truedatdatdatdat]

*what happened to them? were they affectionate?*

[@MrMagoo321]

I've been hearing them every morning making all sorts of racket off in the distance near my house in South Texas

[@CaptainRon956]

I also live in deep south Texas and normally hunt quail & rabbit but if I find chachalacas I'll go ahead & take one. They taste exactly like a wild chicken.

[@pinoarnold]

They taste really good 😃😃😃

[@nikyzamore3163]

Esas aves imagino q son la evolucion de los velociraptor. En casa tengo tres, comen pan, tortilla, fruta.. Comen de todo

[@ELLINDOCUMENTADO]

[@antoniohenriquez4026]

Amigo Luna, le escribo desde Venezuela. Aquí las llamamos Guacharacas. Por favor, no se coma esos pobres animalitos, son sólo plumas...déjelas vivir en paz.

[@cryzp7186]

Cool! I've been seeing a few them in the past month in our backyard. They also like watermelon :). I'm going to try feeding them what you fed them too.

[@jr0835]

They love watermelon, cantelope, grapes, apples, oranges, bananas, lettuce, bread, dry cat food (small pellets), any fruit, pastries or bread, sunflower seed. They strip all my plants of flowers and new leaves. They eat all the citrus on my citrus trees before they are ripe. They eat everything. I have about 40 now in Sept. but should have around 60 by the end of the year. They spend the winter in my back yard.

[@cryzp7186]

Jack Franklin Roberts Thanks. Thats awesome :) (not the part where they eat your flowers and citrus though 😅) They are cool looking birds.

[@fayeking75]

Saw them in the wild in Tabasco Mexico.

[@danielzunigagutierrez6300]

I caught a chachalaca but the poor thing almost fainted in my hands out of stress, so I let it go.

[@cybercroneCA]

Bread is not very good for your birds. They get full on it but it's nutritionally insufficient, but since they're full they don't eat what they should. Check with your vet. Feeding any animals bread is not really optimal.

[@Thoroair]

cybercroneca that's what I was thinking

[@paulinaguzman8696]

I can hear at the background a Veteveo sound :D

[@yonatanjaviermojicasoto2023]

Qué hermosas

[@tc1817]

They are prehistoric looking, and not too bright. I had one "fight" his own reflexion in my window EVERY morning. He never figured out it wasn't another bird.

[@jr0835]

They are very territorial and fight other males all the time. Constant cock fights.

[@ramohino]

Sounds like the bird wanted a cock fight

[@fayeking75]

Cardinals will do that. They will go after the side mirrors of parked cars. Mateing season.

[@jr0835]

They are in my back yard and nobody is allowed back there. They are tame. If I sit down they will jump up in my lap. I call them and they come running. Usually have 30 to 50 birds in the winter. I feed them twice a day. Always fresh water here.

[@aviator8298]

@@jr0835 let me buy some chicks

[@angelintriago1854]

[@pedroxmartinez3690]

Angel Intriago no se venden, son especie protegida

[@jaimegarroarce7876]

Son especies protegidas, no son para la venta ni para comerlas. Solo en la gente muerta de hambre se oye o se ve eso. Quieren arrasar con toda la naturaleza.

[@sardorbozorov7227]

ASILJON DONIYOROV OK

[@renerodriguez.1610]

Are these chachalacas wild or domestic.

[@jr0835]

Wild. I've been feeding them for 12 years and they are used to me.

All are wild, but I've taken care of them for generations and they are used to me.
