Strike a Pose

This may be the closest you ever get to a Great Green Macaw (Ara ambiguus), and frankly, he seems quite aware of his own gravitas. While he was busy perfecting this “come hither” glance, I was struck by the plight of his brethren. These birds are critically endangered, their populations plummeting due to habitat loss and a trade that profits from kidnapping and imprisoning wildlife.

Perhaps he knew I was capturing his good side, but his gaze nevertheless also serves as a silent judgment: when will we learn that exotic pets are never in vogue?
