Awesome birds! A friend of mine in an online bird community just brought home a baby scarlet macaw this weekend. He’s GORGEOUS. (Other birds of hers are rescues–she just wanted a baby this time.) ---

A little more costuming, and you could pass for the label on a bottle of rum. Speaking of piracy, is that an unauthorized replication of the Olympics symbol and Games footage I see there? Better be on the lookout for the IOC legal eagles, there… 😉 ---

Looks like fun, Paul, but I gotta wonder – anyone of the feathered persuasion ever get stuck in the flypaper? I’d be worried about that. Mine have managed to get stuck in regular bird toys often enough. Sailboat ---
