A Vociferous Macaw Hilariously Shushes the Beautiful Parrot He Sees in the Mirror

Shushing Macaw

In 2009, an absolutely beautiful but rather vociferous macaw hilariously shushed the handsome parrot that he saw reflected in the mirror. According to his human, the bird had never done such a thing before.

My two year-old Harlequin Macaw talking in the mirror and telling my Blue and Gold Macaw to “sssshhhhh.” This was the first time that I had seen/heard him do the “ssshh.”
