Charlie my military

[KO92]

I went and picked up my rehome and so far he hes doing well.

 

[KO92]

I dont know how to post pictures

 

[KO92]

Figured it out

 

[Owlet]

He's very cute! His feathers look a little scruffy though, is that normal for militaries?

 

[adz1984]

Don't know if he has toys or not, would be a good idea to add some if not

 

[KO92]

He wasn't in the best situation . Cage was to small for him .

 

[KO92]

I have toys in the cage i have 3 big ones hanging in there just didn't get them in tje picture. Im getting rid of that perch and getting a different kind to go in its place

 

[Owlet]

Ahh well good to know he's in a better home now. What's he like so far?

 

[KO92]

Working on stepping up . He doesn't want to come off the cage . We played ball and he loved that

 

[Owlet]

That's good, give him time to settle in! As long as he's not aggressive I'd think bonding with him and training would he relatively easy.

Nice lively looking eye, and once he settles in will be a fine companion for you.

Congratulations on acquiring him! I love Macaws! He's a good looking boy. I'm sure he'll like that nice big cage. Be sure to look at Birdman666's posts here on the macaw forum, there is invaluable information in his posts. If he's not aggressive that's a very good sign that he'll be easy to earn trust with.

Congrats again!

 

[KO92]

He will put his beak on me and i just tell him no bite . I don't pull away because im not letting him think he is the boss or has me scared

I once knew a Military quite well back in New Mexico. He was the most mischievousuccessful prankster! He would run and knock drinks over, fly away with pencils, mimic different peoples' voices saying STOP IT, MAX (his name).
He was a brat. Maybe your guy will get a chance to be spoiled, thanks to you, whatever that may mean for HIS personality.

 

[KO92]

Yes he will be loved . I set and eat by him and talk yo him . Just need for him to gain my trust so i can start working with him and introduce him to bathing .im taking a class at an exoctic bird store on behavior and trick training and also toy making classes

It sounds like you're off to a great start! Congrats. I hope you two have a long and happy life together.

I'm happy for you Charlie!

All things heavenly rarify to air. Trees produce that heavenly air. Breathe air and take care!
