Where
TwoBit Peak, from the 40th St Trailhead
Duration
1 hour
Notable
First warm hike of the year
Today I saw the scarlet macaw again (reference: Hike #13). According to the Wikipedia page, a scarlet macaw may live up to seventy-five years in captivity. I believe that's worth keeping in mind before choosing one as a pet.

Interesting -- on the one hand it is quite the commitment, basically a lifetime commitment, but then, for those who are momentarily devastated by the loss of a pet this would seem a way to avoid that...
Bobby et al.— Also, I hear potty training is somewhat possible with smart birds. Consideration of the word “somewhat” is important before choosing a pet that poops for seventy-five years.
HA! YES, most excellent point.
