Hello, my name is connie and I finally acquired my parrot. His name is jake he is a blue nd gold macaw.
Jake has been with me for vone week and one day,he is my pnly birs bit not only pet.
I grew up around parrots amd cared for them bit never ed about their capabilities. The parrots I was around never had much of a life and I always wondered why people bother hving them. I knew they talked they were macaws and cockatoos. The amazons seemed to hve better lives so I was looking for an amazo. When jake came my way. He is affectionate and loving. What do u think of changing a birds name at twenty yrs old. I renamed him as his name was hard to remeber.
I'm also I am also involved in horses, animals, writing and different outdoor activitie. One more question which harness do u recommend.

Congrats on your new B & G. I don't think changing his name would be a problem. Just keep repeating his new name to him. I don't use a harness on Willie as he hates going outside. Good luck!

Welcome to the forum, many Macaw guardians active, and always willing to give great advise.
What was "Jake's" former name, just curious
Enjoy the forum

Apparently a lot of people change bird's names without much problem. I probably had an opportunity to change my amazon's name as he wasn't responding to it, but I thought at 28 years old he had to know his name. So I didn't change it, and now he is responding to it.
