Getting a new family member

[labnjab]

My grandfather has a pair of Hahns macaws. He loves them. My Aunt got them for him for Christmas a few years ago.

Just wanted to give you an update on Gonzo. He is doing great. He sings and talks all day and sits on my arm for half an hour or so most nights. He lets me pet his beak, belly and wings as well and even copies my whistle (I can't whistle too well, just a soft low tone, but he copies it when he wants me to come to him, lol). You would almost think he's been here for years.

He's still mad at my mom because he won't even come out of his cage when she's here, but comes out 5 minutes after she leaves

I'm glad he's doing so well! And yeah...they sure hold a grudge...

It's kinda scary when it's obvious a bird is angry with you...

I loved my Hahns, he was a great bird. I'd love to have another one some day, but with all the other critters (both human and animals) at this point, I can't give it the attention s/he would need.
