Swoosh! Juliet [joo-lee-et] swoops into this Brazil zoo. She has come to visit other macaws for the day.
Juliet may be the last wild blue-and-yellow macaw in Rio. Where did she come from? No one knows. But she is welcome here.
Read More: The last time anyone saw a blue-and-yellow macaw flying free in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was over 100 years ago! Juliet might have escaped from being a pet. But she is lonely. So she visits other macaws every day. A biologist says the bird appears healthy and strong. She says this bird could help the blue-and-yellow macaws raised in the zoo. They will be set free soon. Juliet could teach them how to be wild. “Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself,” says Psalm 84:3.
