More Raja

Normally we'd try to not post stories two days in a row about the same bird. But we got a video of Raja yesterday that was so adorable, she's getting featured two days in a row!

Here is her background, from yesterday.

One of the most exciting things about working with older parrots, parrots who have been around the block a few times, is that they often do or say funny things. Even years down the road, they may throw out a phrase or learned behavior they'd kept in the vault.



Someone had given Raja a giant cracker (I know...could we get any more cliche -- a parrot with a cracker?) She's holding it in her right foot, but then takes a bite and uses her left foot to eat, all while continuing to hold the rest of the cracker in her right foot! And, being a happy macaw, she took a few moments to dance when she saw she had an audience!

What a character this girl is. It's hard to believe that she was discarded in such a way. Whoever adopts her will be in for a real treat.
