Wow, Victor! That photo of the eagle with its wings spread wide really is awesome! What a magnificent creature is right! Thanks for sharing! I've never heard of "hunting eagles" before so it was very interesting to learn about them. Ram, you're right about the eagle doing more work than what a hunting dog does! haha
We were at a bird sanctuary in Florida, actually a couple different years, in the Clearwater area. The last time we went they had an eagle they took out of the cage for us to see up close. It's blind in one eye so it can never be released to the wild again. It always held its head tipped to one side so it could try to see better. It still was a beautiful bird though!
amanda, would you have a specific macaw? We first bought a Blue & Gold Macaw when we decided to have a parrot. It was a huge mistake! A macaw is not a good parrot to start out with if you've never had parrot experience, in my opinion! It wasn't weaned yet, though the store said it was. I was terrified of the bird too, so luckily when we told the store we were having trouble, they just said to bring the bird back & they'd refund our money. I could handle a macaw now since I've had more experience with parrots. Have you ever seen the small Hahn's Macaws? They're only about 12" long. I love the coloring of those big Scarlet Macaws though.
