Hi have a rescue scarlet macaw he's 18 I got him at a year and a half. I just got Charlie the B&G what a difference. My scarlet Sebastian loves to pinch he thinks it funny...yes he laughs at me. But Charlie wow she (not sure gender) is a love bug. Loves to cuddle and give kisses. Sebastian will sometimes. Charlie was severely abused so I'm amazed at her wanting to be held. They never gave her toys so she is really having fun with them...she will fall asleep holding them. I noticed she makes a snorting like sound when I rub her heard...Im guessing its a content sound I hope. I'm learning what I can about B&G glad I found this board
