Not an Episode of Girls Gone Wild<br /> <br /> Meet Lilly: Lilly is a Blue-and-gold Macaw. Blue-and-gold Macaws are popular as pets because of their striking appearance and ability to talk.. However, they require  much more effort and knowledgeable  care from owners than traditional pets like dogs and cats. They are intelligent and social birds requiring a great deal of stimulation and attention. When cared for properly, they  bond very closely to their owners. <br /> <br /> Lilly's original owner was a caring and knowledgeable elderly woman who gave Lilly the care and attention she required. However, when her owner died, Lilly was inherited by her owner's son who had little time to attend to Lilly's needs. Out of boredom and stress Lilly spent her days plucking her own feathers until she was virtually nude.<br /> <br /> Lilly is now with a loving couple who attends very well to her needs and Lilly has begun the slow process of regrowing her feathers. I met Lilly and her friends at a neighborhood fair and they were kind enough to allow me to take some shots. I was very appreciative. After all, how often do you get the opportunity to shoot a beautiful nude model?
