Needless to say I am excited

I bet you are dancing on the ceiling! I saw the video and he is a darling!

Isn't he! He has a cheeky nature about him...he wasn't supposed to up on the cupboards and he stared right at her while he was up there.

Can't wait to have him home...

He is an absolute darling! Congratulations.

How exciting! Maybe this will be the start of some really good luck with birds -- you have had a really sad stretch lately. I know everything goes in cycles, but I just hate bad news. Must confess I have lost the count now -- you still have Prinny, I am sure....who else is in the flock?

Congratulations! Beasley is a total cutie bug! And I LOVE the name!

I have a little bit of a concern here. I read several boards and have for a long time I don't post much but my concern is you seem to have a lot of birds come and go. you just gave a couple away and now you're getting a RFM. You just stated that you don't have time for a GW do you think the RFM will take less time? I feel you just keep trading up for something better. I could never imagine just giving one of my birds away and you have dont it several times.. Just a little concerned.
I have also read that you are opposed to breading but you are buying from a breeder kind of hypocritical dont you think.

Guess you didn't read my post huh? I was forced to rehome my other Red front macaw (YES I kept one before) but he and my other ended up enjoying their new home. Would you rip a parrot you had to do this to out of a life he is enjoying to be selfish? No, I did what was best for HIM and not me...

You have read older posts of mine, which is fine...but I have learned a lot these years keeping parrots. I am opposed to factory breeding of parrots...the ones who stuff them into cages and expect them to lay every few months. If there was a red front macaw who needed a home (and believe me I LOOKED) I would take a rehome instead.

Of course I don't have time for a GW AND a RF! I have plenty of time for one macaw...sheesh...

Basically what I am saying is don't make assumptions about people who post on a forum.

The assumptions I am making are from your posts.. You just gave away 2 other birds. How many others have you had but no longer do in the last 2 years. From what I can gather you have re homed some because of your living arrangements which is understandable but you're in another home now can you say for certain that you will be there long? What if it changes again do you just get rid of this one to and try again next time hoping it works out. I just dont think by your posts you are very stable in your life to commit to yet another bird. The neighbors may be fine with it but again for how long?
