Travel the World of Postage Stamps - 120th Anniversary of Moscow Zoo - Blue and Yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) - USSR, Soviet Union 1984 - Michel USSR 5360 - my hobby.
Greetings friends!
In any piece of music there is a final chord, and in any sea cruise there is the last whistle of a sea liner, which tells everyone that the ship has arrived at home and everyone needs to get ready to go ashore.
For a series of stamps 120th Anniversary of Moscow Zoo, issued in 1984 in the USSR, such a final beep was a postage stamp with a face value of 20 kopecks of the USSR, which depicts the magnificent - Blue and Yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna).
3a, I am probably the dream of many bird lovers, but such a bird is not easy to care for.
If 3a becomes your pet, then consider that a very inquisitive monkey has settled in your house ... have you tried to keep a monkey in your apartment?
One of the stereotypes says that the first breeders of such a parrot were sea robbers, corsairs and, of course, this breeder should have only one leg and only one eye.
I think that both two-eyed and two-legged will be able to make friends with this bird, it is not at all necessary to deprive yourself of one leg and one eye.
I could tell you more about this bird, but unfortunately the biggest parrot that bit my hand was Rosella, so lovebirds bite harder lol.
I think that caring for such a parrot is comparable to caring for a hundred budgerigars, did you have a hundred budgerigars? I had a hundred such beauties and I had to cure them all from a variety of fungal diseases before. how they became like a bird.
But, now we are not talking about them, but about Blue and Yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna).
In the zoo of the city of Rivne, I photographed the closest relative of Yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) - the green macaw.
There are some differences in appearance, but he and he are ara!

For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
