Macaw

I'm watching a macaw make its way around a cage. He's very deliberate in his movements. What is most interesting to me is that he uses his mouth/beak as an extra foot, especially useful when working around corners. I wonder if he had to develop this technique just for living in captivity. I would think in the wild he could either fly or walk anywhere he needed to go. I bet he doesn't think about it. I wonder what he thinks. I bet he's not impressed with me as I only sit stand and walk. My climbing skills would not impress. And my beak-work is substandard. You win this round, Bull the macaw. I'll challenge you again tomorrow and we'll see who the better bird/man is.
