I just want you to know GaleriaGila, I think your unconditional devotion and love to the RB is truly amazing. Seriously, after reading your post after post, it amazes me how much you care, and that you are willing to put aside all your hopes and dreams of a loving and cuddly and tame puppy-dog parrot, and accept him for who he is. Bless you. There aren't many people out there who would do the same. I have the utmost respect for you and what you do for him.
My dream has always been to own a macaw, but I'm terrified of having a bird that will hit sexual maturity and never be the same, won't let me touch or pet it, but you've taught me that it is okay to let them just be birds, as they were intended to be, and to love them no matter what. Thanks again for caring.
