I have been doing research for two years on what kind of macaw is right for me and Im leaning toward the Red Front but the guy at the store was just trying to sell a bird and would not tell me the cons of owning these birds. He told me they were cuddly like the hyacinth macaw but not as loud as the mealy Amazon and better then the yellow caller macaw. I don't think one bird is better then the other but he was doing his damnedest to get me to buy that bird. I cant find any good info on the Red fronts so I thought I'd ask on here. Please any factual info you can give me is greatly appreciated.
