Tell me all about the Miligold Quirks!

[onthehunt]

I have recently been offered the opportunity to potentially adopt a Miligold female. She prefers women to men because in her previous home, she was abused by a male.

Now I want to make sure that I can be the best possible home for her, therefore I want to know the truth of this hybrid when it comes to their quirks. Have you heard of any quirks that made you second guess, or say no completely to this hybrid?

Are hybrids in general a greater risk than getting a purebred?

Fill me in on all opinions and experiences please, I need to make an educated decision here! I plan on flying out to meet her in the next month or so.

Thanks in advance

THAT'S KIND OF A MYTH.

The only thing is that military macaws can be beaky and one person-ish. They need extra socialization. Blue and golds can occasionally be high strung. So if the bird gets the worst of both, you have a bird that can be high strung and beaky... however that is rare.

Most B&G's tend to be pretty friendly.

Most Military macs just need to be properly socialized.

NO!

A macaw ANY macaw needs to be handled, and needs to be properly socialized, and needs boundary setting. ALL of them will test you from time to time to see what they can get away with. These are the most toddler-like of all the parrots.
