Hello friends
Here is my entry for Inktober day 4 with the theme "Exotic"
I drew a Macaw which happens to be an exotic pet.
Exotic pets are animals not typically domesticated, often requiring specialized care and environments. They can include reptiles, mammals, and birds, many of which come from diverse ecosystems. Owning exotic pets, such as macaws, demands significant responsibility due to their unique needs.
Macaws, in particular, are large, colorful parrots native to Central and South America. Known for their intelligence, social nature, and strong personalities, macaws require substantial mental stimulation and physical space. They can live up to 50 years or more, making them a long-term commitment. Macaws are also known for their loud vocalizations and strong beaks, which can pose challenges for inexperienced owners. Despite these demands, macaws are popular exotic pets due to their striking appearance and ability to form strong bonds with their owners. However, they need a carefully controlled diet, plenty of interaction, and a large cage or aviary to thrive in captivity.
I drew this using pencil and colour ballpoint pens
