Did you know?

In captivity, Catalina macaws like Miley require a lot of mental stimulation in the form of environmental enrichment. Without access to enrichment opportunities, these birds can become frustrated and destructive to their surroundings, including chewing through solid wood, which is yet another reason why they shouldn't be kept as pets.
