Oh! Do all birds don't know how to fly back to their owners? I am glad someone found it.
When I was little, many of our neighbors had lots of doves and other bird pets. They put it in a cage on top of their roof, and in the afternoon, they set them free, let them fly for an hour, and called them all again by clapping their hands. And the birds all flew back in the cage.
Those were the days when family computers were the only gadgets sitting inside the house.

They did well to be able to catch the macaw, as it would have been hard to catch, I imagine.

I speak from experience since my relatives used to macaws as pets. They are hard to catch.
