Might be adopting a large bird from CL soon

I just reached out to the owners and offered to help them turn his bird into a mush mac if they're willing to work with him. They sound like they want him to be a companion bird, but just have no experience.

Military Macaws tend to be a challenge too from what I hear, and this bird is part Military Macaw. The bird sounds wicked smart, I'll say that much. At least he looks healthy and cared for. I hope they decide to give him another chance and use proper advice.

Militaries tend to be beaky,,,

Thanks JerseyWendy. Seems pretty straight forward and cheap!

What exactly does beaky mean? Does this mean a hard nip on a weekly basis or loosing a finger twice a day?

Lol.. They're nippy. Like to bite / test.

I'm going to be visiting a macaw that was given to the shop after the previous owner moved. I have already met the bird once, now my wife and I decided to get a little more serious and call back. The phone call lasted for well over an hour!

I'll keep an eye out on the classifieds for birds that are up for re-home, but for now I think I'll be good working with something that is a little more reliable*; I'm in a remote area so it's hard to get around quick.

*it's really hard to drive 3 hours to find that something changed and find I'm not going to be meeting anyone
