Winged Rainbow

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Flying in on wings of dominant turquoise
Air reels with color splattering her brilliance
Peruvian rain forest most dazzling
Nearing her riotous peak

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Winged rainbow macaw
In Amazon tree line
130-foot-high palette of red, blue, yellow, green
More than a thousand parrots squabbling over her
choice of perch

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why they congregate daily to eat clay is a question
Visit the clay lick as part of their diet
Only one can get on the lick at a time
But for her rotation is meaningless and sticks to just
the one

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Part of her curious nature to bite and test
How hard is it
Does it taste good
If I eat it will it hurt

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seasonal fluctuation of visits to clay licks
Eat less during May and June at the start of dry season
When many plants are flowering
By late July licks are active again

Exceptional imagery and dynamics projected in this thrilling Amazonian pen Sage !
You make the everglades come alive with spectacular and colorful description of the macaw parrots which reside in this wonderful canopy !
Eileen Tiger Lily is very well informed on these fascinating birds below !

Beautiful word painting Sage! Parrots use the clay licks to aid digestion, like the gravel I give my birds, also like the cuttlestone that keeps the beaks trimmed, cleaned and sharpened.

Parrots are the most fasinating birds to watch, but as you are watching them, they are watching you :-)
