Big, Beautiful Birds

I saw another Hyacinth Macaw this weekend! We had seen one at Featherheads several weeks ago, and it was astonishing. This Sunday we found the Animal Exchange in Rockville, and they have one too! Here's a picture I crudely cut from a magazine advertisement so you can get an idea of how large and beautiful these birds are. That's an adult-sized hand, by the way.



These awe-inspiring birds sell for around ten grand, and it's easy to see why. Here's a snapshot of the one we saw at Featherheads. You can see a little camera distortion in the proportions, but this is a great view of the expression of interest on this young giant's face.



The store in Rockville also had a Black Palm Cocaktoo, another astonishingly beautiful bird.
