Hello folks

Hello from New Hampshire!
We just got our first dusting of snow today and Chica has been growling at the plow trucks driving by outside.
Oh yeah, I am owned by a gorgeous & mellow 15yr old female Blue & Gold Macaw. Currently I am working with her recall & flight training (indoors of course) she's my spoiled snuggle bug. She is also harness trained, crate trained, and while not very noisy does occasionally make an evil laugh or say hello & wave.
I got her as a rescue about a year ago & I must admit it was a decision well made! I look forward to meeting and hearing everyone elses "bird stories"

I also have 2 white doves, had kept an Indian Ringneck parakeet for about 6years (The ringneck is with a friend of mine now & living it up in my friend's new house)
I am also a reptile enthusiast and have worked to start a rescue specifically for reptiles & amphibians in my region for unwanted/neglected pets. Like birds, reptiles share many of the same conservation and habitat issues... which is why I am also working on incorporating Chica into some public education programs.

Welcome to the forum. Please keep the snow up your way. Shorts and tee shirt here.

Hello fellow New Englander, I to have a blue and gold. We haven't had any snow here in this part of Maine yet but I know it's coming. Welcome to the forum, these people are great.

Welcome to the forum!

You can have all the snow! We had a teeny, tiny bit a week or so ago. It was enough to make the birds crazy looking out the windows. (Carlisle was screaming at the big, fat flakes of snow as they went past the window) I wish I could say they growled at the plow trucks... my street always gets forgotten. We're right on a county road AND we're the last road in the Township so we get ignored by both Township and County plow trucks. When we do get plowed out by the Township it seems like the County truck comes by an hour later and plows the end of the road shut. It's a terrible cycle, buuuuuut, I do enjoy calling out of work saying "Sorry, my road hasn't been plowed yet!" and then I go back to bed with the birdies and we have a lazy day
