The Red and Green Macaw is a wow of a bird.

 

Paula and I have seen them and wow they are awesome.

 

We have watched the birds fly in formation. Red streaks through the lush foliage.

 

Their penetrating shrieking calls driving through our heads

 

 

Now I believe the word ‘wow’ is much overdone.

 

I recently bought a friend a chocolate and strawberry milkshake and the reply was ” wow thanks”.

 

That made me think more about the word ‘wow’.

 

Should I apply it equally to a Red and Green Macaw as well as a strawberry milkshake?

 

 

 

 

 

Now the word ‘awesome’ is even more overdone than ‘wow’ and we have heard people call a drink at the bar ‘awesome’.

 

 

 

One of the things I miss most as we are Living Wild in South America is a good English beer.

 

But I wouldn’t attribute a beer as ‘awesome’.

 

A beer is a beer. Everards Tiger is tasty, full of hops, smooth and delicious, that enough.

 

 

We were in the forests of Brazil some months ago and were watching Red and Green Macaws.

 

The birds mate for life and we often saw the pairs flying together in close formation.  A lovely sight.

 

 

 

Our sightings of Red and Green Macaws might just be ‘awesome’, it is a wow of a bird.

 

But the most awesome day possible would be to eat a strawberry milkshake for breakfast.

 

Spend the day watching Red and Green Macaws and finish with a drink of Everards Tiger.
