(dog barking)
00:02
- Maya actually has a small little wing,
00:08
kind of like in "Funny Nemo."
00:09
She never has had the chance to fly.
00:13
- You got that walk, Maya?
00:18
- Hi!
00:19
- One day we were just taking the dogs for a walk.
00:21
You think we should take the bird for a walk?
00:23
You think she would enjoy that?
00:25
And we're like, well, heck, why not try it?
00:27
We were just walking down the road with her
00:30
and she started lifting her wing.
00:32
It's kind of like she wanted to fly,
00:33
so I'm like, well, let's go for a little fly.
00:36
- She loves when we take her flying.
00:41
And at the end of the fly, she always laughs out loud.
00:44
(dog barking)
00:55
- My wife was looking at birds for adoption
00:58
and I saw Maya come up.
01:00
And it was this macaw.
01:08
Hi, sweetheart.
01:11
Guys, we got some big news.
01:15
Come here, baby girl.
01:16
Wanna come visit?
01:17
We're getting Maya.
01:19
She's in the mood today.
01:21
A special friend.
01:23
Everyone meet Mernin.
01:25
She's my new little baby.
01:26
Eating her apple slice.
01:28
Birds and Beaks Rescue had contacted us
01:30
and said that they had a green-winged macaw
01:32
that they thought would be a good fit.
01:34
Moya.
01:37
- A heavy bird.
01:38
- He brought you something, honey.
01:40
Look.
01:42
Did you say hi to your friend?
01:48
When Maya and Merlin first met,
01:50
Maya was pretty excitable and she was saying hi
01:53
and full of energy.
01:54
Merlin was just kinda like,
01:56
"Hmm, I'm not really sure what's going on."
01:58
Oh, baby.
01:59
Ricky still loves you, honey.
02:01
What do you think, Merlin?
02:03
What do you think, boy?
02:04
I loved seeing them interact
02:05
and I loved knowing that Maya had a friend.
02:07
They're actually the exact same age,
02:09
so they're both 25.
02:10
I would definitely describe their relationship
02:14
more as siblings.
02:16
They get along when you give them something to do
02:19
and busy them.
02:20
That's not your cage, Merlin.
02:22
That is not your cage, Maya.
02:24
How did you both get out of your cages?
02:27
I think they kind of look up to each other in a way,
02:30
even though they'd never admit that if they could say it.
02:32
What are you doing?
02:33
You look very guilty.
02:34
She the mama girl.
02:36
She the mama girl.
02:39
I never realized how much companionship
02:41
and friendship and love that I'd be able to give a parrot
02:44
and that the parrot would be able to give back to me.
02:47
And it's just something I can't imagine my life without.
02:53
I consider them my best friends.
02:56
I look forward to coming home from work
02:58
and getting them out.
02:59
