Poor Birdie: Wildcat Attacks A Parrot In Rare Video!

Macaws are not typically on the menu for ocelots—until the opportunity presents itself. During a recent birdwatching trip in Peru's Tambo Blanquillo private wildlife reserve, tourists were stunned to see the wildcat grab a red-and-green macaw and carry off its prize, still vigorously flapping its wings, into the forest. Stefano Raffo, the reserve's business manager who filmed the incident, says it's unusual to see predators in the act of catching prey. And on top of that, “it is really rare to catch it on camera.”
