It's Awww Monday! August 11, 2014

Colorful Macaw spotted in a parking lot
July 30, 2014

When I spotted this bird having
a snack I just had to talk with
the person who adopted Merlin 
two years ago. Merlin is only 3
years old and macaws can live
up to 80 years. Obviously they
are a lifetime committment.

Here's a link for more info.
Have a squawking great day!
And thanks to Sandee for Awww Mondays!
