Hello From Iowa - B&G Owner

Hello Everyone!

My name is John T. and I live in Iowa. I work as a web programmer on contract for the USMC. Myself and my girlfriend of 5 years have a 3 year old daughter, Alexis (Lexi). We recently purchased a baby Blue and Gold macaw, we named "Luigi".

Here is a photo of Luigi:


Here is his new home:


Luigi is not weaned yet, and won't be coming home for two more weeks (notice the empty cage ), which is a drop in the bucket compared to all the time we have been waiting! We have prepared for many months for his arrival (both educational preparation, as well as financial - as you no doubt know, these little guys are not cheap! ).

Well, it is a pleasure to be a part of this site. It's fantastic from what I have seen.

You may visit my Blue and Gold site at: http://themacaw.com/blog

Best Regards,

John T.

Welcome John:

I have those same cages for my BGs. Please check your private messages. I've sent you one.

Hope you enjoy our little corner of the internet. There are LOTS of macaw owners and they love to brag about their birds. I know I do.

THE OUTLAW

Welcome, John! Can't wait to watch that video/blog.

BTW--Luigi looks just like my Bob. There's only one rule here, and it's this: You MUST teach Luigi to say "Hi, Bob!!" first thing. Before "hi" or "step up" or any silly thing like that! *grins*

Hi John,

Luigi is adorable and his back drop to his cage is awesome!! I must ask...Where did you get that at? The boys room is a tropical theme and I just love the blue with palm trees!!

Hi!

Here you go, here's where I bought mine from - this lady on Ebay:



I don't have any personal affiliation with this person, but I will say I was happy with the price and shipping.

Thanks for the nice words.

John T.
