We have a small/ big problem My parents adopted a blue and gold macaw I guess 6 years ago . She is I would say fresh birdie who would love to remove any part you stick near her. She can break her toys within secs flat and take things apart probably just as quick. Any ideas on how we can gain some trust?
Here is her background. My aunt knew her former owners and they never made her stay in a cage the actully let her have flight as a wild bird and she came and went as she pleased and would have to find her own food and water. The ladys son told her to find it a new home or he was going to shoot it and so this is how we got involved do to the fact my Aunt knows we have taken in parrots and always have room so we took her in not knowing how bad it was and was ready.First night here she took her whole cage apart with herself inside. By the look in her papers she has been moved around alot and miss sexed someone did a dna sex and it came back male but I haven't knew a male bird to lay eggs lol she is also around 11 years old I believe
Now I don't want to give her up I love her to death even though I can't touch her and I think its a shame I would love to snuggle with her
She just hates people and is happy as can be when she is out playing
Any way to gain her trust? Show her not all people are mean and stupid and can see she is loved?
