Hello from South Africa

[MacawSA]

Hi everyone,

I am from South Africa and recently after 19 years was able to get a Macaw, a blue and gold Macaw!!!! I got him/her for my Twenty second birthday

On the way home he/she got a name. Hendrik LOL. It's a male name but we can change it when my parrot goes for it's checkup and it ends up to be a female. I got 'it' at 14 weeks and now 2 weeks later still going strong haha.

I restore classical cars and studying after hours and inbetween 3 scotties need attention and a marine tank...

The Macaw is a nice change of pace.

Well I plan on keeping him my whole life which I believe is very possible. I am just scared of doing something wrong so I am here for experienced help!!

Thanks and so glad to see such a big bird community

Wow you guys reply quickly!! It is awesome! Thanks for the welcome guys! I love sharing pictures and as soon as he is awake then I will take some pics. I am very proud of him, my little baby haha. The breeder I got him from told me they are just big babies... I agree!! Oh one thing him and me sorted out was no climbing on the head. So far so good. I think from now on onto the macaw thread. I will teach myself to type shorter messages too lol.
Thanks again guys!! Till later
