I love Macaw sounds! It is kind of funny though because Salsa sounds like he is burping. Buuurp, good bird =)

That's because he IS burping... well, that is, he's mimicking a human burp. He learned it from the husband of his mom (who passed away in May). He also usually does it right after he goes and takes a gulp or two of water from his water bowl. He'll actually pause and burp like that between gulps. I think he's pretty funny!

Yes, I imagine you really must be :) It's about the best thing someone can have to look forward to IMO. I know that I was really looking forward to getting each of mine. In Salsa's case it was a bittersweet experience, though, because his mom who recently passed away was my best friend and Salsa was the single most important part of her life.

I think Salsa is absolutley gorgeous!
Thanks!

What are you feeding your birds, his colors look amazing. He really is handsome!
The base pellets they get are Zupreme Natural Avian Maintenance but I give them some Harrison's (pepper flavor) and some Roudybush here and there as well. They usually won't eat much of the Harrison's or Roudybush though. Then on a daily basis they get organic apples and bananas as well as various vegetables - I try to always get organic when I can. I also feed them plenty of nuts (pecans, cashews, almonds, macadamias, pine nuts, and various others depending upon what's available). And, of course, I always have to give them some of whatever I'm having (as long as it's bird-safe). Since I eat lots of whole grains and organics, they get plenty of healthy variety.

I know it was such a bittersweet experience when you got Salsa. He is such a gorgeous guy, I can tell he had excellent care from your friend & you are continuing in giving him a wonderful home. I believe that your friend sees what an amazing home you are giving her baby and is smiling down on the two of you! I love watching him "burp" I'm about to show it to my husband, I'm sure after watching this he is going to be on a mission to teach Moses this! LOL

Thanks so much for your kind words. I miss her so very much and I'm sure that Salsa must as well :(

HAHA! Salsa doesn't fart, but he does a human cough that you'd believe is an actual person coughing if you didn't see it was coming from a bird :D

It's a learned behavior ;) They seem to like the burping sound.

Pretty bird BTW.

Pepper sneezes and coughs exactly like me! Whenever she burps/farts I tell her "Are you some kinda pig bird?" LOL!
