🌲 Meet my dear Braulio, the most beautiful macaw in all of San Juan de los Cayos. 🌈

Good friends, today I am going to talk to you about my dear friend Braulio. He is a little bird friend of the macaw species that I found once when I was walking in the mountains. At the top of a corozo tree, there was a sparrowhawk that was eating the chicks. Maybe it also ate its mother, I don't know, the hawk ate its brothers, but in that moment, the little bird fell to the ground and I managed to rescue it.

Too bad I don't have photos from that time, when he was a pigeon and I was raising him. I had to give him water, his food and, well, crush almond seeds. Make a dough with the seeds so that he could eat it and then give him water. Like this, day after day. In all this time we have become friends and he has been growing.

Buenos amigos, hoy le voy a hablar de mi amiguito querido Braulio. Es un amigo pajarito de la especie guacamayo que encontré una vez que estaba en el monte caminando. En la parte alta de un corozo, había un gavilán que se estaba comiendo las crías. Tal vez también se comió a su madre no lo se, el gavilán se comió a sus hermanos, pero en eso, el pajarito cayó al suelo y yo logré rescatar a este.

Lástima que no tengo fotos de aquel tiempo, cuando él era pichón y yo lo estaba criando. Me tocó darle agua, su comida y, bueno, machacar semillas de almendrón. Hacerle una masita con las semillas para que se lo pudiera comer y, después, darle agua. Así, día tras día. En todo este tiempo nos hemos hecho amigos y él ha ido creciendo.

Now that it's grown up, all the people who pass by my house are amazed at how such a wild bird can be so calm. Its appearance, seeing its beak and how it opens its wing, which looks enormous, scares many people. But it is an extremely calm animal. In fact, it's how you treat it and how you raise it. I take it out in the morning so it can get the sun and it spends the whole day in that tree. He flies. Well, as I said, he flies and has flown in his first year. I have learned a lot from this animal. Even if you give them food, water, and the necessary space, they always have the need to fly, to experience for themselves what the environment is like.

Ahora que está grande, todas las personas que pasan por mi casa, se quedan maravillados de cómo un ave tan salvaje puede ser tan tranquila. Su semblante, verle el pico y cómo abre la ala, que se ve enorme, a muchas personas les causa miedo. Pero es un animal sumamente tranquilo. De hecho, es como tú lo trates y como tú lo crías.Yo lo saco en la mañana para que reciba el sol y pasa todo el día en ese árbol. Él vuela. Bueno, como le decía, él vuela y ha volado en su primer año. He aprendido mucho de este animal. Aunque uno les dé alimento, agua, espacio necesario, siempre tiene la necesidad de volar, experimentar por ellos mismos cómo es el ambiente.

The point is that, from their birth, from their creation, God has created these little animals to fly, not to be in captivity. I, in truth, have gained a lot of respect and affection for him, but it is like having a son. You raise them, but the time comes when they have to fly.

La cuestión es que, desde su nacimiento, desde su creación, Dios ha creado a esos animalitos para que vuelen, no para que estén en cautiverio. Yo, en verdad, le he agarrado mucho respeto y cariño a él, pero es así como que uno tuviera un hijo. Uno los cría, pero llega el momento en que ellos tienen que volar.

Sometimes he flies to some trees far from the house, and on some of those times the children shamelessly throw stones and sticks at him, the children do not understand that it is more beautiful to see the animal in its own environment, in its nature. It's something that I have wanted to teach the children around here. The animal is more beautiful to see it in the tree, enjoy it and observe it.

A veces el vuela a algunos árboles alejados de la casa, y en alguna de esas veces los niños sin vergüenza le tiran piedras y palos, los niños no entienden que es más bonito ver el animal en su propio ambiente, en su naturaleza. Es algo que yo he querido enseñarles a los niños de por aquí. Es más bonito el animal verlo en el árbol, disfrutarlo y observarlo.

I bathe him, I feed him, I give him kisses at night when I go to put him in. He has to kiss me goodnight because, if not, he won't get off the pole where I leave him, the time he has spent with me is many moons. I try to let him see the moon because, when there is a full moon, he has an aggressive reaction. I don't know what he wants, but it is said in Brazil that, in that tropical area, those animals, when there is a full moon, make love.

Yo lo baño, yo lo alimentó, le doy besitos en las noches cuando lo voy a meter. Él tiene que darme un beso de buenas noches porque, si no, no se baja del palo donde yo lo dejo, el tiempo que ha pasado conmigo son muchas lunas. Trato de dejarlo ver la luna porque, cuando hay luna llena, él tiene una reacción como agresiva. No sé qué quiere, pero se dice en Brasil que, en esa zona tropical, esos animales, cuando hay luna llena, hacen el amor.

I have even brought another friend who has one of those species, a female, but it turns out that she does not mate. I have told my friend that it is lucky that mine is loose, but I, at least, am not afraid of him leaving because he has always returned. Since I have always treated him like a son, I believe that affection is something very great when one has affection for people, animals or anything.

Incluso he llevado para que otra amiga que tiene en especie de esos, hembra, pero resulta que no se aparea. Yo le he dicho a la amiga que que suerte que el mío está suelto, pero yo, por lo menos, no le tengo miedo a que se vaya porque él siempre ha regresado. Como yo siempre lo he tratado como un hijo, yo creo que el afecto es algo muy grande cuando uno tiene afecto por personas, animales o cualquier cosa.

That affection is something that you give them, it is linked to them and that affection will always be there as much as with a horse, as with a dog or with a cat. Everyone has their pets and I have my pet because I raised him, I saved him from a predator but not to take away his freedom because my intention has not been to take away his freedom either because my intention has been for him to survive and move forward and that he always looks pretty and fills my house with color and it is something that I am grateful for, he can fly and leave whenever he wants, which is that I am afraid that they will kill me out there but well it is a very feeling. great that you have to live it to be able to understand, it is the same thing that one feels with a child of one's own blood.

Ese afecto es algo que tú les das se enlaza con ellos y siempre ese cariño va a estar tanto como con un caballo, como con perro o con un gato. Cada quien tiene sus mascotas y yo con mi mascota pues yo lo yo lo crié, lo salvé un depredador pero no para quitarle su libertad porque tampoco mi intención ha sido quitarle su libertad pues o sea mi intención ha sido de que sobreviva y siga adelante y que se vea siempre bonito y llene mi casa de colorido y es algo que yo le agradezco, él puede volar e irse cuando él quiera, lo que es que a mí sí me da miedo que me lo maten por ahí pero bueno es un sentimiento muy grande que hay que vivirlo para poder entender, es lo mismo que uno siente con un hijo de su propia sangre.

But well, you don't know how much joy that companion gives me every morning when I take him out to his tree and I talk to him and he gives me a kiss before setting him up and I give him his food and I see him eat, drink water and At noon he calls me to bathe him and I bathe him, that is, I make myself think that he is just another child that I have, because I have a very great affection for that little animal but he is a very fabulous animal and that he is calm, he does not bother me and he calls many people. pay attention when they are walking and suddenly see a macaw in the middle of the road, I don't like animals being killed, I say that if you kill something it is for you to eat, but if you are not going to eat it, why are you going to take it away? life? We all have the right to live.

Pero bueno usted no sabe la alegría que a mí me da ese compañero todas las mañanas cuando lo saco a su árbol y que hablo con él y me da un besito antes de montarlo y le doy su comida y lo veo comer, beber agua y al mediodía me llama para que lo bañe y yo lo baño o sea me hago pensar de que es un hijo más que tengo, pues un afecto muy grande con ese animalito pero es un animal muy fabuloso y que es tranquilo no molesta y a muchas personas le llama la atención cuando van caminando y de repente ven un guacamayo en medio camino, a mí no me gusta que maten los animales yo digo que si matas algo es para que comas, pero si no te lo vas a comer ¿para qué le vas a quitar la vida? todos tenemos derecho de vivir.

We all have the right to enjoy the environment as God created it for all of us, but humans have been selfish and do not want to share it because there are many animals around us that God also gave this environment so that it was theirs. But we have become selfish, what does it cost us to share it with those species different from us? and many times we become predators and exterminate them without need and we do not understand that each animal and each species in the ecosystem has a purpose and sometimes we complain because we have pests, but we kill the toads or lizards that are dedicated to eating the pests, as are mosquitoes.

Todos tenemos derecho a disfrutar el medio ambiente tal y cual como Dios nos lo creó para todos nosotros pero los humanos hemos sido egoístas y no lo queremos compartir porque hay muchos animales a nuestro alrededor que también Dios le dio este medio ambiente para que fuera de ellos pero nos hemos tornado egoístas ¿que nos cuesta compartirlo con aquellas especies diferentes a nosotros? y muchas veces nos convertimos en depredadores y los exterminamos sin necesidad y no comprendemos que cada animal y cada especie en el ecosistema tiene una finalidad y a veces nos quejamos porque tenemos plaga, pero es que matamos los sapos o lagartijas que se dedican a comerse las plagas como son los mosquitos.

And when we determine it, we create a balance or an imbalance in the ecosystem, so we have to make our children understand that the environment is something beautiful that it is everyone's job to conserve it and mainly we adults have to grasp and teach our children why. Children do not learn alone if they do not have an adult with a good conscience who guides them along a good path with conscience and respect for other species.

Y cuando nosotros lo determinamos creamos un balance o un desbalance en el ecosistema entonces hay que darle a entender a nuestros hijos que el medio ambiente es algo hermoso que es tarea de todo conservarlo y principalmente nosotros los adultos tenemos que agarrar y enseñarle a nuestros hijos porque los niños no aprenden solos si no tienen un adulto con buena conciencia que lo que encamine por un por un buen camino con conciencia y con respeto hacia las demás especies.

Braulio looks adorable. I wish I had a pet macaw like this one. @tipu curate 8

Thanks so much! Birds are complicated, they can't be encaged and you have to raise them when they are newborns
