Zazu passes his item off to Aura, and watch how mindful she is not to startle him 🦜💚 Despite being much bigger, Aura reads his body language and adjusts her movement — that’s emotional intelligence in action.
Macaws have incredible control over their beaks, capable of cracking nuts with hundreds of pounds of pressure, yet here she’s gentle enough to handle a tiny friend. It’s all about social awareness, trust, and the science of restraint — her brain’s mirror neurons help her sense his comfort level.
It’s a reminder that mindfulness isn’t just human 💫
