Dancing Green-Winged Macaw
Update on Santina's first 3 weeks and her very first music video! Can't miss this sweet dancing macaw!

Michael wrote:What a load of bullshit. I know birds that have had entire feet ripped off, beaks torn off, and other massive injuries. While many species of parrots get along and don't fight hard, there are others that fight to the death. Amazonas, Poicephalus, Melopsytacus have been known to inflict death or major injuries.
The danger is that Santina is like 10 times bigger than Kili. It doesn't matter what the intention is, if she throws one bite at her, that could be fatal or cause a serious injury. So it's not a simple thing. These are species not only differing in size but also by continent, climate, and lifestyle.
PS I wouldn't put an ounce of weight on anything this woman says. I just jumped to a random point on the video and heard her say "You have a bird on your arm, they can feel your pulse. And they will know where you sit. They will know if you are upset, stressed, excited." She's just making this up. Nobody can genuinely know what the bird knows and to claim to know is crazy. Obviously she hasn't experienced aggressive parrots that want to kill each other and she likes to make up what the parrot is thinking.
