Saw this gorgeous blue and gold #macaw at the #MetroRichmondZoo. It must have been flightless (zoos often care for injured and unreleaseable animals) because there was just a low rail fence around its perch.

Some years back we had a bunny called Loffen who was cuddle buddy with our first macaw Ricco.
Ricco had a traumatic past but was just the sweetest little guy.
These two would cuddle up on the floor together being the best of friends.

To say this morning was a good time for birding would be an understatement. It was SUPER lively. A lot of times I had to pick and choose which direction over the other to take photos. Red-bellied Woodpecker, Cooper's Hawk, Chestnut-fronted Macaw, Blue-and-yellow Macaw. The macaws put on a show. Had to have been at least 15-20. Squawking and chasing each other. The Chestnut is a lifer for me.
