Geoffrey was born at the ARA Project, a macaw conservation group in Central Costa Rica. His mother was an ex-pet and his father was poached from the wild. When his mother abandoned her eggs, Geoffrey had to be raised in an incubator. When Geoffrey is old enough, he will be released into the wild. Until then, he is being taught all the things that he will need to know to survive as a wild macaw.

From the wilds of Costa Rica to suburban America, a lovable, quirky cast of parrots will reveal their unforgettable tales and the bittersweet world they share with humans. Nature explores the difficulties of caring for parrots.

Moluccan Cockatoos are an endangered species. In the 1980s, an estimated 74,000+ birds were exported from Indonesia to supply the pet trade. Today, poaching is still a reality, but moluccans are also threatened by loss of habitat. Dolly was captive-born, originally purchased by a man with a parrot collection and soon put up for adoption. In her new home, Dolly and her owner are inseparable.

Basil was taken from the wild as a chick in Honduras in 1987. He was shipped to a quarantine station in Florida, probably with other chicks — many of whom would not have survived. It’s estimated that 70% of wild-caught parrots died before ever reaching the pet store. Basil survived the odds and finally landed in Massachusetts with a happy and loving family.

Ring-tailed male lemurs find a mate by outstinking each other, covering their long tails with aromatic secretions and waving them around to find out which animal is dominant. Love in the Animal Kingdom premieres Wednesday, Nov. 6, at 8/7c (check local listings).

During mating rituals, male Blue-Footed Boobies show off their feet to prospective mates with a high-stepping strut. The bluer the feet, the more attractive the mate. Love in the Animal Kingdom premieres Wednesday, Nov. 6, at 8/7c (check local listings).

Feats of strength and playing hard to get: How gorillas mate. Love in the Animal Kingdom premieres Wednesday, Nov. 6, at 8/7c (check local listings).

Animals dance, sing, flirt, and compete with everything they’ve got to find and secure a mate. For many, the all-important bonds they share as a couple are what enable the next generation to survive. Can we call these bonds love?

Toola has taught 501 how to be an otter, and now it is time for them to be separated, forever. The aquarium team decides to release 501 back in the wild.

This is the story of the Monterey Bay Aquarium's 501st attempt to save an orphan otter. From her discovery as a stranded newborn pup crying on the beach through her rehabilitation in secret roof tanks atop the Aquarium, NATURE follows as Otter 501 learns how to dive, hunt, eat, and fend for herself in the wild, where survival is a long shot at best.

Today is the day 501 will be introduced to Toola, surrogate mother otter. Can they accept each other so 501 learns everything she will need to know in order to be released back out in the wild?

Sea otters cannot even swim on their own when they are born. In the wild, a mother otter takes her pup everywhere to protect and educate her baby. 

Even if 501 aces all of her otter lessons, there are a plenty of challenges she may face in the wild including shark attacks.

A baby sea otter abandoned on the beach was brought in to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. This is the aquarium's 501st attempt to save an orphan otter. Against all odds, will she be able to return to her home in the wild?
