Young birds like this Macaw often need to be fed via a feeding tube - especially if left abandoned or something has happened to the parents...

Unfortunately this little guy's tube had become lodged in his throat and almost caused his death - until the very gentle hands of ARH Exotics Vet Dr Jayne Weller at Sydney's ARH - Animal Referral Hospital helped him out - ably assisted by Emergency Nurse James Perez who obviously loves Macaws as you will see!
