Hey guys,
Been doing a lot of reading here and figured since I am on here learning so much I may as well join up so I can post if I feel I can contribute.
I have had quite a few birds over the years. When I was in my teens I had a few avairy birds including bourkes parrots, pale headed rosellas and my favourites at the time my princess parrots.
I also had a few companion birds including a budgie, a cockatiel and and absolute character the scaly breasted lorikeet named Norman that I hand raised when I was in my late teens (he still lives with my folks). Anyway it all got left behind when I went off to university, went to parties, played with cars, met girls etc. Sure I had a few stints caring for others birds when they couldn't (a sulpher crested cockatoo and a eclectus) but during this time I did not have any birds of my own.
Now days I am working as a chemistry/biology teacher (I originally studied zoology) and life has slowed down... a little
I found myself wanting a companion bird again and now that life is stable I decided that I could take on a medium sized parrot. I originally was looking at eclectus as I had loved my friends that I had cared for. In searching around though I came accross the hahns macaw and really liked what I saw.
Being in Australia macaws are pretty rare and so I was very surprised when I found a breeder within an hours drive from me. So anyway went for a visit last week and met the hahns he had available They were gorgeous. I have picked one that I am especially fond of and told the breeder that I would stay in contact and be back when I was ready at home.
Hopefully I'll pick the little guy up later this week and I can have some pics up then
Thanks for reading. I'll see you around the forum!
