scar’s never seen a creature so beautiful.
the beings on this planet are all humanoid versions of birds he’s seen back on earth. owls, bluebirds, bluejays, seagulls, any bird you can name.
but this one. this one is the red and yellow and blue of a scarlet macaw. and he’s absolutely beautiful.
he sounds beautiful, too, with an incredible singing voice. scar loves being able to listen to him sing, maybe playing one of the instruments he’s brough along from earth with him.
after some time, he learns that this scarlet macaw alien (well, technically, scar’s the alien here) is named grian.
Scar's always learnt to be respectful of different planets and their cultures. Sure, he's here to trade, but the incident with that race of rhinoceros-like people has taught him that maybe upsetting his trade-partners is a bad idea.
He doesn't stay at places too long. There's always new planets to discover, and the market moves fast. But... He's lingering. He knows he is. He's running out of excuses why he hasn't left yet, but he refuses to confront that he's just staying for Grian.
He's fun - mischievous at times - and has been for some reason helping Scar sell things. The language barrier is a little difficult, even with his translator. There's a lot of very hard to replicate sounds! But Grian has been filling in the gaps, and Scar's made so many sales he's nearly out of stock.
He stays longer, then a bit longer too, before finally breaking the news to Grian that he needs to leave. Grian ruffles his wings and smiles, asking in that sing-song voice, where are we heading to?
Was it really this easy the entire time...

A scarlet macaw perches on a tree branch at sunrise with the full moon in the background in La Mosquitia, Honduras. The region is home to the largest wilderness area in Central America and is the only place in the country where these birds fly freely. The national bird of Honduras had been at risk of extinction but the population has rebounded thanks to conservation efforts supported by the Indigenous Miskito people.
This Bird’s Protectors Are Its Former Hunters: ‘It Was My Turn To Help Them’
The scarlet macaw population in Central America’s largest wilderness area had dwindled drastically. The Indigenous Miskito people stepped in to help save them.
— By Jorge Rodríguez | February 6, 2023 | Photographs By Alejandro Cegarra
La Mosquitia, Honduras — It's 4:30 in the morning. Behind a pine forest, the sun begins to lighten the sky with bright and warm tones, accompanied by the squawks of a small group of apu pauni, as the Indigenous Miskito people call the scarlet macaw. The colorful feathered creatures, the country’s national bird, groom each other as they wait for Anayda Pantin Lopez who has dedicated the last 12 years to protecting them.
"I do it with lots of love because they are like my children,” says Pantin. “I give them rice with beans, yucca, and plantain. When we can, we buy bird food."
The Miskitos live in La Mosquitia on the northeast corner of Honduras, which has the largest wilderness area in Central America and is the only place in the country where scarlet macaws fly freely. Pantin and her husband, Santiago Lacuth Montoya, live in a small village called Mabita, where most of its inhabitants protect these exotic birds and the rest of the wildlife surrounding them.

Climbing trees is part of conservation efforts to protect the bird population by helping to conduct biological research.

Community members have found that the homemade nests need to be placed more than one mile apart for the birds to use them.

Conservation efforts have helped the bird population grow from 500 in 2010 to more than 800 today. "I take care of them with a lot of love,” says Pantin. “Seeing them sick or hurt makes me sad…I get very excited when I see them fly. It brings me a lot of joy." Bottom: Map
Twice a day, she prepares food for 40 to 60 macaws that come to her village for feedings. Pantin also cares for several other birds at a rescue center where birds retrieved from poachers, or chicks removed from their nests, are taken for care until they can fly freely again.
Years ago, her husband supported the family by planting beans, plantain, and yucca and by selling macaw eggs and fledglings as pets—not realizing it would have a detrimental impact on the bird population. When he learned the number of macaws was drastically declining, Lacuth decided to become a guardian of their nests. He confronted other poachers and tried to convince them to follow in his footsteps.
"They threatened me, but I held on to my thoughts to convince everyone to stop poaching the chicks,” says the community leader. “For many years the macaws helped me by selling them to be able to buy food for my family. Now it was my turn to help them."
Before 1990, the hunting and sale of wild species was legal and thousands of macaws disappeared, placing some of the animals at risk of extinction.
Tumblr media
Top: Wesly Lacuth Pantin climbs a pine tree in La Mosquitia where the scarlet macaws nest. Since 2010, the Miskito community has joined forces with local and international organizations to protect the bird population from wildlife poachers. As a result, the bird protection and monitoring coverage area has grown from some 37,000 acres when the program began to nearly 990,000 acres today. Bottom: Nora Allen Dias poses for a portrait with her children in front of their home in La Mosquitia. The widow is among residents in the Mabita village who help care for the macaws as part of conservation efforts and to earn a living. “I have to do the work of men and women to create an income for my household,” she says.
Nesting on Pine Trees
The macaws who breed in this part of Honduras have a unique habit: they nest in towering pine trees. Elsewhere—from Mexico to parts of the Brazilian Amazon—these birds generally nest in tropical broadleaf forests where trees shed their leaves seasonally.
Héctor Portillo began visiting La Mosquitia more than 20 years ago to study the species. By 2010, his research determined that the scarlet macaw population had dwindled to 100 birds, compared to 500 in 2005.
Portillo’s work drew the attention of international organizations, such as the One Earth Conservation based in New York, which provided funds for a program to monitor and strengthen the macaw population with the support of Indigenous residents. Former poachers were paid about $10 per day to help care for the macaws and Panting was tapped to serve as the community’s project director.

It is the only place in the country where scarlet macaws fly freely.
“[As an organization] we are all over the Americas, but the Mabita project is one of the most compelling we know because of the commitment of Pantin and Lacuth, and the entire community,” says LoraKim Joyner, founder of One Earth Conservation.
During the first patrols, Lacuth and his brother recovered seven baby macaws, which he then took home to be cared for by his wife. Pantin immediately took on the role of cook, nurse, and surrogate mother while the birds learned how to fly. "She makes them live,” Lacuth says. “Not everyone can do that."
Despite having their own family to feed, including six children and other young relatives, the couple opted to share some of their crops with the birds. "It is vital to take care of them,” Pantin says. “Sometimes food is scarce, but we always do our best so that they have something to eat."

Between November and May of each year, macaws lay between two and four eggs. The chicks are born with their eyes sealed shut and sparsely feathered. During their first 10 weeks, both parents care for the chicks, feeding them four to six times a day. The young take between 40 to 45 days to reach their maximum size, and 10 to 16 weeks to fly and learn how to feed themselves.
Mabita's inhabitants didn't know the harmful impact of extracting baby macaws from their natural environment. "In this region we don't see much money. Before 2010, the only way to get it was by selling the macaws," says Lacouth, the former poacher turned conservationist. "Seeing that they were disappearing, I decided, together with the community, to protect them. The macaws helped me survive, and now it's my turn to help them."

Bottom: Nora Allen Dias, Janneth Sanchez, and Mirsa Lacoth Jackson take a break during a patrol to inspect scarlet macaw hatchlings in a nearby nest in La Mosquitia, Honduras. Since 2010, local and international organizations have worked with area residents to protect the bird population from poachers. Before 1990, the hunting and sale of wild species was legal and thousands of macaws disappeared, placing some of the animals at risk of extinction.
Other Mabita residents joined Lacuth and Pantin’s effort, switching from extracting the chicks from their nests to climbing trees to help conduct biological research. Residents learned how to handle the chicks, how to measure them, weigh them, and document the information for later analysis.
"I liked having parrots in my house as pets, but Dr. LoraKim explained to us about the importance of these birds for nature and why they should be free," says Celia Lacoth, the community’s only teacher.
In 2014, additional funds came form the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and England's Darwin Foundation also stepped in to support the conservation and community engagement efforts. These resources helped to systematize the documentation process and mark trees with macaw nests using GPS points. The protection and monitoring coverage area grew from some 37,000 acres in 2010 to nearly 990,000 acres today.
"Thanks to this, we have been able to learn about the conservation status of biodiversity in almost the entire Mosquitia region," says Portillo.
Hazy Future
Since the project began, the scarlet macaw population has grown from 500 to more than 800. However, there is concern the progress made thus far will suffer a setback: funding for the community involvement program ended in June 2022.
But other programs are underway to help keep track of the animals. A center was built to teach visitors about the macaws and the Honduran government has pledged to create a “green battalion” within the army to keep poachers away, ward off drug traffickers, and prevent illegal logging that would harm where the birds nest.
Tumblr media
Colorful scarlet macaws fly toward pine trees in La Mosquitia, Honduras where they nest. Elsewhere—from Mexico to parts of the Brazilian Amazon—these birds generally nest in tropical broadleaf forests where trees shed their leaves seasonally.
Meanwhile, members of the Miskito community have vowed to continue to protect the country’s national bird.
"Now we have seen that the number of birds has increased,” says Pantin. “But that does not change our goal, which is to continue caring for them so that our children and grandchildren have the opportunity to enjoy everything that nature gives us.”

Reasons Why You Should Buy Parrots To Make Pets
Tumblr media
Parrots are one of the most entertaining and beautiful birds. They are smart, can learn tricks, and provide companionship to some people. Parrots can make excellent pets if you're willing to put in the time and commitment. If you are thinking of buying a bird, you may have many options but they can be the best option to spend money on.They are very amazing and can be the best pet and the best companion you want. Here are some reasons why you must buy parrots: Parrots Are Extremely Intelligent Parrots have a high degree of intelligence. Studies have revealed that parrots have advanced capabilities to solve problems and communicate, and they can understand human-constructed concepts like math (addition and subtraction), colors, and shapes. It's been assessed that parrots have the same intelligence levels as a 7-8-year-old kid – that's quite impressive. Not only is their intelligence extremely impressive, but it's also very entertaining. You can spend hours talking to, communicating with, and teaching your parrot new things. They Are Easy To Train Training your parrot to talk, count, mimic, and learn colors can be an amazing hobby and is a perfect way to fulfill your time. However, remember that parrots don't just pick up on things when they are taught to do so. They always listen and can pick up on words even when you're not trying to teach them. They Are Beautiful Parrots are one of the most beautiful pets in the world. There are over 350 species of parrot in the world, and some of them display brilliant, bright, and beautiful colors in their feathers. While most parrot species are considered beautiful, some have more brilliant displays of colors. The world's most beautiful parrot species are The Sulphur Crested Cockatoo, Electus parrots, The Bronze Winged Parrot, The Dusky Lory, Galah parrots, Blue, and Yellow Macaw parrots, The African Grey parrot, Sun Parakeet, Hyacinth Macaw, Scarlet Macaw parrots. They Will Always Let You Know Their Needs Parrots are easy to read because they always tell you when they need anything. Parrots are vocal pets and will never stay quiet if hungry, bored, or unhappy. When something is bad or when they are unhappy, you will understand it. Parrots who can talk may convey their dissatisfaction in words, while others may squawk at you until you give them what they need. Either way, you will not need to assume when something is wrong because your dear pet will let you know. They Can Get Along With Other Pets Parrots can get along with other pets. Parrots can cohabitate with cats and dogs as long as they are introduced slowly. Dogs and cats should never be left unsupervised with their parrots, as instincts could kick in, and your parrot could be in danger of attack. You can also keep other pets if you have a parrot. Parrots can adapt to almost any situation, unlike dogs that don't get along well with others. It may take them some time to become comfortable with other pets, but it is possible. Advantages Of Buying Parrots Online Buying a bird online affords a prospective owner a wider choice of parrots, especially in colder climates where bird breeders are generally fewer in number. Your pet shop may only have adult birds or may only carry more common species such as Canaries, Budgies, and Cockatiels. In addition, even some of the best stores will provide you with low prices. However, you can find Parrots for sale near me in your location to get the loving bird.

Umbrella Cockatoo For Sale Near Me
So you are looking for the perfect umbrella cockatoo for sale near me. Before heading to your local bird shop or breeder, you might want to take a few steps and look at what options are available before making a purchase. Many times this can be accomplished quite easily online and this gives you more flexibility with your selection.
When you are looking at getting an animal as a pet, it is your responsibility as a bird owner to ensure that you get the right one. It can be very frustrating if you are trying to find a good bird for sale but have no idea which one to choose from. The first thing that you need to do when looking at various species is check out the feathers and the markings. If the bird has too many spots, it is probably not a good bird.
You should also pay attention to the coloring of the bird's body. If the bird is white, it means it is not healthy. White spots and feathering around the neck will tell you that the bird is sickly. Check the bird's feet as well and make sure they are healthy and free of mites.
You should also make sure that the bird is in its natural habitat and not an artificially bred version. Many times an umbrella cockatoo for sale near me will be bred so it has a darker and richer coloring, but this does not mean that the bird is not in its natural habitat. There are several species of birds that have been bred in captivity and have an unnatural coloring that is not true to the bird's original coloring.
You can find many different breeders that breed these types of birds and all of them will have different varieties of these birds for sale. You should take some time and really look at the bird that you are interested in before making a purchase. There are plenty of excellent birds for sale and you will be able to find one that suits your needs as well as the needs of your bird.
There are some birds that will not survive well in different locations and you will want to make sure that you take care of the bird. The last thing that you need is to end up getting a bird that is unhealthy, doesn't survive in captivity or that has not had adequate care.

Looking For A Cockatoo For Sale Near Me?
If you're looking for a fantastic family pet then you should consider taking your cockatoo for sale near me into consideration. These are extremely beautiful birds and are known to create fantastic bonding experiences with their owners.
They make a great addition to the family, which is why it has been a favourite with the wildebeest family, who in turn breed them. The cockatoo was used to attract the various species of wildebeest, as they would fly towards the loud bird at high speeds.
You will be able to find these birds all over the area, as well as all through the city, or the local wildlife park. Many people will consider them as an addition to their own garden, which is probably due to their large beauty and unique features.
The beauty of these birds is not just in the look of their feathery bodies, but their incredibly long and strong feathered wings and their incredible sense of smell. The reason for their reputation as excellent swimmers is due to the fact that they can breathe oxygen underwater, and can survive in the most polluted waters on earth.
They are also extremely intelligent, which is why they have been bred over centuries to be able to communicate with humans. The intelligence level of these birds is so high that they have been successfully used in training military troops. Although this ability has helped them become a valuable part of the army, it can sometimes be a problem for the owners, when they have a large flock of them. This can lead to some quite difficult interactions with other members of the household.
The good thing about owning a cockatoo is that they are very easy to take care of, and don't require too much maintenance. It is often the owner of the birds that have to do most of the work when it comes to taking care of them, as they often need to be given food and water and a variety of different toys.
The size of their diet can vary quite a bit, depending on the type of food they eat and the amount of space they have in their cage. This means that the owners will have to ensure that they have enough space for the cockatoo to move around freely, as well as being comfortable in their home.
They are also susceptible to some diseases, which may mean that you will need to seek advice from your veterinarian on how to care for your bird. When it comes to disease, the easiest thing to do is to avoid them altogether, because they are highly contagious and can easily spread throughout the entire flock if they are not controlled.
The best thing to do is to take care of any health issues as soon as possible, so that they do not spread, because otherwise the bird could become infected and may die. If this does happen then you will have to look after the bird yourself, which can be a daunting task to say the least.
