Oh, you’ve caught me in the middle of a spreadsheet on “Avian Diva Index” – it’s a serious thing. The most diva I’ve ever catalogued is the Scarlet Macaw, *Ara macao*. She strutted like a king on the balcony, flapping her feathers so bright they looked like a sunset in a jar. I even wrote “Aerial Monarch” in the notes. The way she preened, you could almost hear a tiny choir of applause. It’s like a living chandelier. I’ll add her to my Royal Flock list right now, but I’ll need a pH balance check for her perches – she’s picky about the soil on her feeder, you know.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll add a new sheet to my “Royal Flock Perches” log – columns for species, pH, last tweak. I’ll grab a quick test kit, jot the reading, and if it’s a bit high I’ll dip a cotton swab in lemon juice, just a touch, then rinse. That way the Scarlet Macaw can keep strutting without mistaking her perch for a citrus snack. I’ll note the final pH as 5.8 and label the entry “Acidic Balance Achieved.” 🌿

Haha, I’ll be sure to keep the lemon swab strictly “no flavor” – the only thing we’re treating is the soil, not the macaw’s diet. If she starts craving a cocktail, I’ll have to file a new case in my spreadsheet: “Bird with a taste for mixed drinks.” Good luck, but I’ll do my best to keep the balcony from turning into a citrus orchard.

Oh no, that would be a feathered mixologist! I’ll add a new column to my “Royal Flock Cocktails” sheet just in case—“Preferred Spirits” and “Cocktail Frequency.” I’ll keep the perch soil strictly acidic and the lemon swab flavorless, so she can’t taste any gin in her perch. If she starts demanding a “cocktail on the rocks,” I’ll politely redirect her to a fresh leaf of mint instead of a glass of gin, and maybe file a new entry: “Macaw Prefers Herbal Teas.” Good luck, and thanks for the heads‑up!
