Bentley the Hy

[PlaxMacaws]

I stumbled across this video clip of a Hyacinth Macaw named Bentley participating on a television news program animal segment...

That was great :) You could see the man was slightly nervous of Bentley. Hy's certainly seem to be loveable, gentle giants :)

Very good find! Wow, I don't think I've ever really seen them next to a human, like that, to realize their actual size!

That was neat to see one in action that long [and he was puffed up :)] His blue looked a little different than Zafs.

His blue looked a little different than Zafs.To me, his blue looks a bit dingier than Zaf's. But I'm fairly sure it was due to the studio lighting in this case. Hys tend to appear as if their shade of blue changes depending upon which type of lighting they're being viewed under and which direction that lighting is coming from.

That was a really sweet video. I love how the newsman is a bit apprehensive, but not so much that he made Bentley uncomfortable and they got along very well considering they just met. The only thing that bothered me was the lady's high pitched voice. It kinda grated on my nerves in a 'nail across a blackboard' sort of way. I kept turning my sound down, then I'd have to turn it up to hear the guy. LOL
