Caracas' Macaws

Caracas (Venezuela's capital) is located in a valley, surrounded mostly by the "Cerro El Ávila"... It's also the home of over 400 macaws that fly freely and are adored by "Caraqueños" (Caracas' citizens)... These wonderful creatures visit hundreds of balconies every day to everyone's delight...

Venezuela... My country... My home... My love... heart beating

Lovely little beggars. laugh
Animals are just magical, Jim... wave Nature is magical!... heart beating
It amazes me to see them friendly enough to be hand fed.
Amazing.
I really like these parrots. They are very expensive here. Why I wont get one is for the simple reason that I cant give it enough of my time.
Where do these birds breed, in the suburbs or out in the wild? I mean these sitting on the trellis.
Chat, some people say they were originally released in Caracas, like 30 or 40 years ago... From what I have watched, some people even recognize their babies, because when they learn how to fly, parents take them to the same balconies they are used to visit... It's heart melting... heart beating
Luke, in the longest video, you can see some palm tree trunks and macaws peeking... Caracas has a lot of nature, a lot of "green"... I am sure they have plenty of places to breed... And citizens adore and protect them... And you are right... They are extremely expensive, but, they are "native" for us... And I have never and would never "buy" a parrot or macaw... These magical creatures were created to be free... heart beating
wave Melody!
Always fun to hear of your beloved Venezuela from the country's Ambassador At Large.

Sweet Tiger! wave hug

I have two Amazon parrots and they both laugh like me... They are two very much loved little rascals that talk a lot!... One of them says: "Pototo", which was my way of calling him "Precioso" (Precious), the same way my father did, when he called it... So, to hear him saying it melts my heart every single time and is a sweet reminder of my father... heart beating
fantastic Melodywave
Nature is fantastic, Rob... wave bouquet

I think it was Macaws which were causing a problem at an army camp as they copied the bugle call to get up so they had to get bag pipes in stead.
Ok... Noted writing and resolved!... typing

I worked for a guy who was building a house on a half acre of land. His hobby was raising birds and converted a trailer to hold them. Probably 50 birds in total.
Lots of small ones and a few large ones. The African Grey was the meanest of the bunch and often bit the hand that feeds him, occasionally drawing blood.

Not nearly attractive as a Macaw. I couldn't see the point of keeping an 'angry bird' around.

No need to reply as reply has been noted. Anyhow you still have your parrots as they may not care if you reply to their caws banana
I had to google that word: "caws"... Nope... My parrots do not utter a "caw"... They laugh, talk, whistle... laugh heart beating But, they are much smaller than Caracas' macaws... Just like 35 cms or something...
Omg... Parents returned to that house with their babies... heart beating

Hi Melody applause

Art and I were walking through a small park in Fueringola and we saw a lot of green parrots ( or parakeets? ) flying around and making a lot of noise. They were probably setting for the night grin We could see them on top of the rows of palm trees that lined the park.

Didn’t take any pics of them, sadly. Only this pic of my Arty in that park coz he was my only muse that time laugh

I’ve seen parrots picking out tarot cards. Yup, they can tell your fortune for a fee laugh

I’ve seen a lot of Indian fortune tellers with their pet parrots selling their wares in Little India in Malaysia and Singapore. I bet there are a lot of them in India but I’ve never been to India, unfortunately.

You can check them out on YouTube.
Hola Melody. I "inherited" a Blue and Gold Macaw after it took a large chunk out of my mother's end table. That was the last straw as far as she was concerned. laugh Still have him. Been about 25 years now. Basically like living with a moody perpetual 2 year old child that will most likely outlive me. laugh But quite entertaining at times.
Awwww, Loh... Please, tell me you are nice to him and take good care of him and play with him... Please, please, please, tell me... Have you ever thought of taking him to a bird sanctuary?... I mean, if you don't want him... blues
I will look for those videos, sweet Mimi... And I hope that they are well treated... My kind of people are the ones that treat their animals like family... heart beating

P.S. Hi, Mimi's Arty!... Greetings, from Venezuela!... wave
Oh I like himlaugh Seems very content and eats better than I do, and even has his own room with a view.thumbs up
