Hyacinth Macaws Run a Unique Seed-Distribution Service | Wild to Know

[@terramater]

Did you know that it takes around 100 days for Hyacinth Macaw chicks to reach a size that will allow them to leave the nest? Until then, their parents have to bring them palm seeds to eat. Nice "room service" right? 😉 ↠ 🦜 Check out also "How this African parrot ended up in a cactus in Arizona": kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2OwYaKMaampb7M

So this has kind of blown my mind. All kinds of animals unintentionally disperse seeds, but I had no idea there was a parrot smart enough to do it *deliberately*. That's staggering. Why am I just now hearing about this?

[@livingcorpse5664]

Same.

[@terramater]

They're really fascinating parrots, right? 🦜

[@anomnomnomnivore1350]

Even lesser parrot intelligence is staggering, look at budgies. If you want a pair or even a tiny flock of 6, they’re easy maintanence emotionally but high maintenance cleanly speaking and food wise. Even if they don’t step on your finger or interact with you, they really do behave interestingly. If you feel responsible enough, get some. Make sure you let them fly out the cage daily as well.

[@MrBurndonesinkchair]

It’s not deliberate. The mandibles, the mouth, tongue, beak; at best they can retain only 50% of what they’re trying to eat, with the other half falling to the ground below. It’s a feature analogous to The Origin of Species.

[@drakke125Channel]

i highly doubt much of it is intentional for most animals save for a few like the macaws, seeing how wasteful food dropping is a shared trait among various species and classes of animals. They def been spreading seeds intentionally for thousands of years for sure because this has been ingrained in them. Certain behavior and memories are supposedly passed down.

[@kunalkashyap863]

I don't get why these videos have so less views, I mean youtube just please spread these videos, they have to be seen by every person on the planet and make them realise what we are doing to these beautiful creatures just so that we have our daily pleasantries.

[@infinitebudgie]

@@hv5962 Well as for me, I mean I had saw 2 male baby budgies left out in my back yard and they were kinda injured so I took them to a bird doctor, later after that I tried finding their nest but I couldn't find it so I decided to keep them safe at my house and play and spent time with them as much as possible. I still try to find their parents but don't succeed but it's good to see the budgies healthy and happy with me.

Macaws are easily the best lifetime companion imaginable if you have the skills, space, knowledge, the ability to read their body language, and offer them a habitat that gives them the freedom to fly, exercise, and engage in stimulating flock dynamics.

[@idkman8962]

@Timmy The Seal usually these birds arent caught from the wild and put in a cage, rather the captive ones breed and then they kids are sold as pets

[@denjrsz]

@Timmy The Seal every single animal Is wild..theyre all domesticated NOW one way or another. u can see house cats going out and they return home; birds can live well in a home DEPENDING ON A LOT OF FACTORS

[@denjrsz]

@Timmy The Seal Thats bc theyre domestocated... Most owners let their birds fly around in their house outside of their cage. It's also common for them to free flight. we cannot take them outside as often like in public without something to identify them like a very loose carrier. Look at budgies; outside of australia they are domesticated in homes and treated aa average grade A pets

@@SimonWoodburyForget I see your point but wouldn’t excessive cattle farming also have detrimental effects on the environment? After all, they do release a lot of methane and contribute to greenhouse gases which in turn contributes to climate change. I do agree that it could cause problems if cattle ranching were to disappear completely but wouldn’t be better to reduce the amount? Genuinely asking
