My friend has a beautiful olive colored macaw. They’ve had this feathered family member for over twenty years. He talks, he’s clever, amusing, and fun for all of them.
Linda says the bird teaches her wonderful lessons. For example Linda has often found comfort in the 91st Psalm, which includes this thought, “He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust:”
She and the bird have a sweet and trusting relationship. One day she came up behind him, and placed her fingers under his wings (which would be our armpits). She said there were different feathers there, soft downy feathers found no where else on his whole body.
Linda suddenly gained new insight into the “wing” metaphor. That to be under the wings of a parent bird would not only be safe and sheltered, it would be cozy and comforting as well.
Thanks Robin Kopec for this great macaw photo!
