So, we must ask ourselves,
Why were these cavemen raising Macaws?
The answer is obvious to any experienced ornithologist.
For racing.
Cavemen didnt have TVs or asphalt paving or other forms of recreation, so they used to race Macaws.
And the Macaws always won because they had wings and could fly over the rocks and Sabre toothed Poodles and so forth.
Except for Flying Feet Gronk who could do the hundred in 9.5 or whatever his Fred Flintstone watch said.
the question indicates gross ignorance of the asker.
The people of Casa Grandes raised the macaws and the pens are still there. These same people developed a meridian streaching from Casa Grande due north to Chaco and on further to Aztec in perfect alignment for hundreds of miles.
