Thank you, but there seems to be a bunch of that going on in this forum. Ya'll are the greatest.
Macaws are gorgeous and wonderful birds, but my research has led me to believe that, as passionate as I am about my critters, I could never take on the mega-enormous responsibility of a bird that intelligent and that large (not to mention, that capable of serious human injury!). :::sigh::: My Eclectus pair (Leo & Glory) are nearly too much of that already. Hormones rule this roost!!! They have large vocabularies and have clearly cognitive convos with us regularly. They speak clear as a bell, like little girls. The Blue-Headed Pionus pair (Bo & Bella) are easy keepers. They are not the smartest kids on the block, but they are super sweet and easy to work with. It's easy to tell if they're a little hormone-grumpy, so you never have to get bit. They talk like 85 year old men that have been smoking for 70 years!
Wub my birdies.
