Macaw Rescue Inc.
Palm City, Fl
Naked and weighing barely 20 grams, this creature will grow to 1,000 grams in less than 60 days. At birth it is blind and completely dependant on its mother |
The baby receives a few CCs of formula every two hours for the first two weeks of life. In the wild, it is the mother and father who predigest and regurgitate the food - the surrogate mother does it with a syringe |
A month after being hatched, the babies begin to look like a Macaw. The feathers start to appear and weight nears 1,200 grams. |
Here are one week old, 30 day old and two month old baby Macaws. |
