red macaw

At the fair this past week we took the kids to see a traveling magician/comedian/ animal trainer (don't ask!). He had with him 2 different Macaws. A blue/green one and a red one. I don't know how accurate he is but he said that the blue/green males are "party animals" going from mate to mate with a harem of females and coming and going a wide distance. Then he said the red males are so loyal to their one mate that even if she dies they will remain alone and grieve their companion. I lovingly looked at my husband and asked, "Did you know you were a red macaw?"

LOL...he just smiled and rolled his eyes. Pretty birdie...lol
