Hello, I'm needing some input on my macaw. First things first, I am not new to birds, had a few smaller birds, all but one were rescued as well. And I also had an orange-winged amazon, also rescued.

Long story. I am the owner of a beautiful, tame yellow sided GCC. My mother was watching the bird and accidentally released her. She flew straight up and dissapeared. Out of guilt, and without asking, my parents, who know nothing about birds, bought me not one, but two GCCs, a male and female...

Hey guys! Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Liz and I've just rescued a Yellow Naped Amazon almost two weeks ago. His name is Chuffles and he is 10 years old. He is my first "large" parrot and so far no regrets! He's becoming more and more relaxed each day - as well as more vocal...

I am a new member here; I have a working knowledge of parrot-keeping and do a lot of research, but I want to get to know other keepers and get help in this special case. This past Friday, a friend of mine asked me if I could take her African grey parrot. It had originally been her mother's...

Scooby has been with our aviary since Sept. 2006 and he is now 2 and a half. He is a real sweetie.

Shaggy was my first Congo African Grey I started hand feeding him when he was 3 wks. Now he hates me but is a real gentle bird to the rest of my family. He just turned one.

"Margie" the Vos Marie Eclectus. She is such a sweetie just a little skittish. She plucked herself at her last house. Margie was returned to her breeder (who is a reputable Breeder) and in turn came to live at CMA.
