Harlequin Macaw, my new baby

Hello,
Just wanted to introduce my new baby "Makon", he is a Harlequin Macaw. Right now he is still at the Breeders and we visit 2 - 3 times a week. We can not wait for him to come home. I have read a lot of different Threads on this site and have gotten a lot of good information. Below is a photo of him. Would like to hear from anyone that is owned by a Harlequin.

Renbrown, due to the genetics, anything is possible for the chicks... I've seen some very yellow ones, even one that looked almost like a pure B&G macaw! And yet, I've seen some that are also VERY red! I'm talking about both harlequin and catalinas...

Here's another harlequin (or so the ad says) who's very red!

Chingy, you've got a gorgeos bird there! Can't wait to see him all grown up!
