Guacamayos Puertorriqueños (Aloalimentación) / Puerto Rican Macaws (Allofeeding)

"(...) They [Macaws] groom or preen each other. This behavior is called allopreening. 

They dine together, even feeding each other through regurgitation as they will later do for their young.

This act is called allofeeding.

These two actions are extremely strong bonding activities and are  very important to macaw partnerships. The actions are believed to act as familiarizing behaviors as well, the theory being that the more familiar the pair are with one another, the stronger their bond will be and thus will be more successful parents in the long run. "
