Wow, days 90 to 100 suddenly all the feathers develop.
When they were very young I noticed the bottom beak was much wider than the top one, presumably for shoveling food in?

They were magnificent when they were in flight. However, there was a trickle of anxiety in my heart that they may not return or get injured.
Baby birds are all so cute, but due to the size of the macaws they seem so different as babies. Loved the film...thanks for sharing.

It's a double-edged sword, so to speak. I see them soaring and I feel happy for the joys of freedom they're clearly experiencing... but, at the same time, I worry for their safety :(

I've just been learning about the recently discovered pigment which the scientist called YlnMn blue. As the name doesn't exactly roll off the tongue Crayola had a competition for a new name and bluetiful was chosen. Idiots - they should have called it Macaw blue.:)

What a beautiful video. It is a wonderful thing to watch them go from egg to free flight.

They are magnificent birds.

Wow~ Breathless is how I felt watching them in flight. It is such a special bond to have when you raise a baby. I too would be so very concerned to see them out flying free for fear of what could happen and yes at the same time it was a wonderful sight to see.
