Feathers of a blue and gold Macaw.

When I was 2 years old we visited my grandpa in Miami. His neighbor a few houses down had a pet macaw who held court in his garage and they brought me to see him, thinking it would be a fun child-friendly activity. But as soon as we walked up to it the macaw squawked really loudly (before delivering his favorite phrase which was some kind of greeting) and I screamed and didn’t stop crying for like… twenty minutes? Fortunately this has not formed into a lasting phobia of parrots.
