Sunday, August 31st. Goodbye.

My greenwing macaw friend went home to his new family today. I was really lucky that I was at the aviary early enough this afternoon to be able to pet him and say goodbye. His new family is really nice and I think he will be just fine joining their flock at home. As he was being carried to the door he was looking back at us with his head feathers all ruffled up as baby macaws are so good at doing, and that was my last goodbye look at him.
