Thanks. I know he looks kind of funny but his personality sure is one sweet little thing. I've read a whole lot about severe macaws and how nippy or how they just bite. Honestly, he just does not fit that bill towards me. And even better, he doesn't scream -- so much so that for a while, I was concerned that he must be ill thus explaining why he is so quiet. I don't get the flock calls except every once in a while when I go into the other room and he's being a lazy butt and doesn't want to follow me but expects me to carry him with me, he'll flock call me.
The only explanation I have, because certainly I own up to mishandling him when he first came to me out of my ignorance, is that he feels safe and secure and isn't locked up and regulated to a dark corner all by himself. And he doesn't get whacked with a stick when he's naughty which happened to him in the past.
So I think Ducky is another animal or bird living in a severe macaw body
I seriously don't know how I fell so in love with a birdy! It's weird.
