Favorite Secret Spot
We got some fresh air and a few pictures at our favorite secret spot before the wind picked up and Claire had to wear her shawl. The dolphins & a sea lion swam by too. #secretspot #tidepools #rockyshore #macawsofinstagram @absoluteandi Clairice Macaw #beachphotography #rescuebird #parrotlover #artistlife #dailyinspiration #colorsoflife #getoutside #walkonthebeach #splashofcolor #gratefuleveryday
Activated Charcoal for Birds
Miss Clairice is starting out on another quiet day. Everything else is normal. She ate well yesterday, socialized, playfully hormonal at times, jealous as usual, poop looks fine… I did find some grommets on the shower curtain missing.

Today’s Breakfast
Today’s breakfast. I haven’t posted Claire’s breakfast in a while because we were in a bit of a rut. I’ve been cooking more while #stayinghome and she was very cute when getting up this morning. First I offered her bowl with just the fruit, veggies, oats & seeds. Nope, not moving. I added the chicken…

Claire finally figured out how to use her swing! Now I need to make it more secure!! #swinging #parrotsofinstagram #macawsofinstagram #funnyparrots
Words & Beak
It’s a common myth that parrot communication is limited to mimicking human language. Claire learns words that help her or convey something that she cannot communicate effectively with natural vocalizations and beaking. She particularly likes words with multiple meanings, that she can use with different intonations for a variety of messages. I imagine that parrot…
