Man Gives Away Late Dad’s Macaw Family Drama Unfolds!

Losing a loved one is never easy, and dealing with their belongings afterwards can be a challenge. One man found himself in a difficult situation when his father passed away, leaving behind a 20-year-old scarlet macaw named Rainbow . With no experience in caring for a parrot and living in a rented apartment, he was unable to take Rainbow in. His extended family refused to help, and he eventually found a new home for the bird. But was this the right decision? His aunt certainly doesn’t think so…
