tpk925I have a Blue and Gold Macaw, her name is Carmen. She is almost ten years old, spoiled rotten. I hand fed her when she was a baby and had no feathers. I am her dad she has bonded to me like she would to another male in the wild. She is a lot of fun but also a lot of work. She needs a lot of attention. She has quit the vocabulary also. She also eats a lot. If I am t the dinner table eating she is on my shoulder stealing food. You have to be very careful what you feed them. Like avocados, they will kill her, chocolate, no salt, no sugars, no dairy products. You try and take a pizza crust away from her. NOT. If you burn something in a Teflon pan that can kill her to.
I know he is a female cause I had her DNA'd. That is the only way to sex parrots.
If anyone has any questions feel free to ask. I have raised a lot of baby birds.:)
