Preening my Scarlett Macaw’s pin feathers (Satisfying)

[@ElementalSerenity]

I dont pull , i pretend my thumb and pointer finger are like a beak and i softly rub not pull the pins. The tops of the pins flake off so easily

When you hurt him and he nipped at you, I reflexively apologize because sometimes I accidentally hurt my birds while preening too 😂

[@kat.699]

What an adorable bird, you are lucky, he seems to really love and trust you. ❤

[@siddiqahali9193]

Omg, this must have felt so good for him.

I heard a smoke alarm beeping

[@lazybelphegore6748]

Could you imagine if you had a bird that can mimic sounds, if they heard your smoke alarms beep once they might imitate it forever!

[@strawberryfrog2721]

please be very careful when petting anywhere other than their head

I’ve heard Scarlett macaws tend to be nippy. Have you found that to be true? They are stunning colors. We saw them in the wild in Jinetes de Osa Costa Rico. They have no fear or interest in humans, just lots of almond trees that they feed on when in season.

[@siddiqahali9193]

This beautiful bird would not survive in its natural environment and seems to be getting the best treatment at home.

​@siddiqahali9193 why would it not survive ? (Real question, I'm also a bird owner)

[@siddiqahali9193]

@@W-I463 Because it's so spoiled. It has a much easier life here with its owner to provide most of its needs. If it got released or even if it grew up in the wild, it would have to fend for itself and might not survive.

​Bird seems just fine and well taken care of. While I get what you're saying, this isn't a wild caught bird. It was bred in captivity, probably generations down from pet parrots. One could say the same thing about cats, dogs, horses, guinea pigs. Pet parrots have been kept for millenia. All the while, the rain forests of South America are being cleared to supply humans' voracious appetite for beef. So, no, the bird would not be safer in the wild. It would have higher odds of being BBQ'd in a forest clearing. Perhaps cry for the trees instead of the spoiled pet parrot amd stop eating cheese burgers?
