Motor trucks unite farmer and consumer to cut food costs

Macaw Prized Family Pet
An old reader recounts a macaw eight years in their care. The bird survived a paralyzed leg and a ruined eye, yet remains active, flying by day and returning to roost at night. It sports azure blue and golden yellow plumage, weighs in as a beloved pet, and occasionally annoys people by pulling clothes pegs during washing days.
