A Stationary Macaw

One macaw is glued to the wire. The other two are relaxing and enjoying the beautiful day. Romeo is the scared little boy who doesn't quite know what is going on. He wouldn't move around to perch, eat, or drink.

Romeo recently got loose and flew away from his home. He must have been quite frightened to have this much anxiety about being outside again. He was luckily found by his owners and quickly retrieved, however, I think it scared Romeo to have this adventure.

The two macaws relaxing in the big green cage are Oro and Azul. They are a boisterous and active pair when they are in the house. When they go outside, they just relax and kick back. I was hoping their calm demeanor would rub off on Romeo.

Romeo remained on edge so I decided to bring him in. He was eager to get back to a cage of normal proportion and eat, drink, and rest. Going outside is too scary for Romeo. I will continue to expose him to brief periods of outdoor time to help him gain his confidence.

One would think that a parrot would enjoy the freedom of the skies....not so. I think the world is a very scary place for our much loved and spoiled parrots. Please protect your birds from accidently escaping the safety of the home.
