In her post, Benites chose to use the incident to spread awareness about the loss of flora and fauna due to the raging forest fires in Pantanal wetlands and Amazon rainforest. “Taking advantage of what happened today, I, as Mato Grosso do Sul, could not help expressing my feeling of deep sadness for everything that has been happening in the Pantanal.”

“Thousands of animals are losing their lives with the fires and if this continues to happen, scenes (rare) like the one you are seeing in this video, will become impossible to be seen. Let us be aware! Let’s take care of our greatest asset, which is nature!” she concluded the post.

Since being shared online, the video has gone viral on several social media platforms and left netizens amused. In an update, Benites informed that the bird was a domesticated animal and lives in an apartment at Granja Comary (Rio de Janeiro).
