Check out this awesome video from the Dallas Zoo team training a Hyacinth Macaw to accept eye drops. This behavior was trained in 2019 and was transferred to a multitude of trainers and went with the bird to his new zoo where it is still being used today. Great job Dallas Zoo team! And these trainers are IATCB Certified Bird and Animal Trainers.
