dc.description.abstract |
In nature, parrots use their beaks for more than just eating. They use them for climbing, as well as manipulating and crushing objects. Losing a beak is a major handicap. That was the situation faced by Max, a 20-year-old blue and gold macaw from a bird sanctuary in the Western Cape. He lost his beak in 2017, leaving him unable to eat normally. |
