Yes folks I changed my mind
, instead of getting the Severe Macaw I am getting a six month old Blue and Gold Macaw named Hannah when she is weened which she is doing right now so it wont be long. The main reason I changed my mind is that I do believe that a bird chooses his/her owner. I have had the good fortune to put these birds on layaway and I and my wife go and visit as much as we can. The CAG has warmed up to my wife and that is really workin out for them. But everytime that I try to handle the Severe Macaw she is very standoffish towards me and has bitten me several times
. But when I got near the Blue and Gold she wanted to be on me and handled by me every time
, and hasnt even threatened to bite me at all(just a real sweetheart) The man that is selling her told me that that is the furthest he has seen anybody other than himself get with her. She is real tame I gues since she is hand fed and he spends a lot of time with her, and I feel real comfortable with her so that helps. I hope/think that I am ready for such a large bird, we will see, lol.
So if anybody has ANY info or usefull advice I sure would appreciate it.
I will upload some pics as soon as I can.............LMB
