Predators that rely on lemmings, like the Snowy Owl , took advantage of the bounty and had great breeding success, raising large broods which, after the lemming population crashes, dispersed far and wide. We always see one or two of them about town in the spring, this year they are in groups of six or seven. I’m a messy eater.

But when raised, they seem to have a sort of weird cape. In other words, they never raise their own young. Instead, they lay their eggs in other species’ nests, and let those nest-making birds (often significantly smaller than the cowbirds) raise their young. In fact, this is not even a particularly large group.

They like to fly in pairs or groups and in the evening they come together in big groups to roost in a favorite ‘dormitory’ tree. Mating pairs are faithful for life and share the tasks of raising the young. The Hyacinth Macaw is more than just another pretty face; these birds are social with strong family values.
