This review is from: Save the Endangered Species-The Macaw [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This installment uses interviewees and images from other installments. Again, Peru is the focus, but there are other countries that are watching their native animals die besides Peru. What Americans doing to fight all the extinction going on in Florida, for example?
When it comes to pandas and dolphins, that's it if they die. But I think we can grab some bird eggs, incubate them, and bring them back.
This work makes the point that we Americans play a key role in the Amazon's destruction. If we didn't use some much oil and timber from South America, the rainforest wouldn't get so depleted. This work points the finger at us, not just others.
The work says these birds can live for 60 years and need lots of attention. I bet a whole bunch of potential pet owners don't want to deal with that. Further, it says they get more aggressive as it matures sexually. I think human males can relate to that. It was fine to be kept in the house all day as a baby, but from the teen years onward, we need to be out on the hunt, if you know what I mean. Why force celibacy on other animals? Further, though the work never uses the phrase "birdy suicide," it does say these birds can go insane if caged too long. They pull out their own feathers and peck at their feet.
I feel sad when I hear that humans kill each other over diamonds, but then I think about how beautiful diamonds are and understand their worth. The same feelings arose for me here. I don't want to threaten these birds. However, their plumage is beautiful. If you like rainbows, then you will like these birds.
This work does say these birds used to live in the Caribben and the American South, but have been hunted down to just a small section of South America. But I do think this is a recovery effort that we can win.
