I ask you this--Do you think Macaws are aware of their great beauty? Judging from Bowie's constant preening of his long, beautiful (even for a worn out thing that's ready to be molted in favor of a new one :-) tail, and the rest of his gorgeous, sunshine self, I can't help but think that he may be rather vain! LOL! Take a look at these pix and tell me what YOU think:
Notice that the two "lovebirds", Rowan and Bowie, are inseparable as always, and take part in choreographed preening rituals :-). I wonder how and if their relationship will change as they grow up?
