I had spotted a blue throat macaw. (ara glaucogularis) It’s absolutely my favorite macaw: I think they’re just gorgeous and I was stunned by the beauty of this blue throat macaw!

He came together with his family and brother or sister, a scarlet macaw. (ara macao)

Though I usually am afraid of large macaw beaks, I took the chance and let this gorgeous bird step up onto my arm.

He willingly stepped up.. Boy, he was heavy compared to Iago & Zazu!

When Zazu flew off I made him step up with the ’five step program’ that was promoted that day.

Two people with their umbrella cockatoo.. :) (cacatua alba)

This umbrella cockatoo came with a feather tether.. Cute isn’t he or she?

Small guys were also present: This lovebird (left) and two pyrrhuras were also present.

So was this Amboina king parrot. (Alisterus amboinensis) He was just gorgeous!

So brightly colored!
