Hello! My name is Savannah, and I am quite new to this forum other than using it for research prior to me getting Kona, but this is my first formal introduction!!! I had researched macaws and birds for months and finally purchased Kona, a 13 year old B&G from a lady rehoming her birds out in Dallas Texas. Now I have to be honest here, Kona is the sweetest macaw I have ever met in my entire life. I have only known him for around 4 days now and he talks, lets me help with pin feathers, and it sounds ridiculous, but after the vet mangled him with a towel during his check up he even let her pet him! He is honestly so well socialized with strangers and loves his fruits and veggies in his parrot chop. I was aware that I should leave him alone for a few days and not interact with him, but through the cage bars he was letting me pet him on day 2 so I decided to let him out onto his manzanita tree stand and he is just darling. Okay enough about Kona (I'm sorry but hes just so sweet!!). I wanted to know if you had any advice for a new macaw owner? I did a lot of research, but there are always those things that just get passed around by word of mouth so I wanted to see if any of you guys had some tips! By the way, his vet check up went well and he is a perfectly healthy little guy!
I will let the macaw experts chime in with advice, but just wanted to tell you how happy I am that you joined us! I'd love to see a picture of Kona and of your lovie
