CHICKENS

Poor chickens at the Tulelake/Butte Valley Fair in Tulelake, California, they were ready for slaughter. Their specie of chicken grows faster than other species of chicken, so they are ready to slaughter and go to market at 7 weeks old. Mom and I felt sorry for them.

BLUE-AND-YELLOW MACAW

Scientific Name: Ara Ararauna

The Blue-and-Yellow Macaw, also known as the Blue-and-Gold Macaw can be found in the swamps and forests of South America. Macaws are a large parrot species that can grow up to 33 inches from head to end of tail feathers and are very intelligent and sociable. They make good pets but are very vocal (so do not live in an apartment if you want to be friends with your neighbors and landlords). This Macaw was named Jimmy and Jimmy was very vocal and opinionated, as you will see and hear but also very adorable. He gets a little grouchy and wants attention.

This was a Blue-and-Yellow Macaw that was at the Tulelake/Butte Valley Fair in Tulelake, California that Brad’s World of Reptiles had on display to teach people about these animals. Their Facebook page can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/BradsWorldReptiles/
