Hello!
My name is Barb and I have a Scarlet Macaw named Luna. I rescued her from St. Louis Avian Rescue (STAR) a little over a year ago (Feb 9th, 2019). I am 20 y/o and attending college, so I live in a tiny apartment with three other people! (yes, people, macaws CAN live in apartments peacefully!) My parents have two amazons: one, a blue-fronted; and the other, a red-lored. I will inherit them when my parents pass, as one is about 15 and the other we're not sure of, but is over 30 for sure. They were both rescued.
I have used this site extensively in the past when I had questions about taking care of birds, but I never made an account. I would just google the question and this forum usually popped up. No more! I am excited to be a part of this community
On to Luna, she is a DIVA! She has such a big personality. She's usually making all sorts of weird noises for fun, and loves being around me. She's also happy to just take naps with me or sit close to me while I work from home. She's thankfully pretty quiet, as I could not have a screaming bird in my apartment. She hardly ever screams, only when new people come over or if I play videos of other birds does she exercise her vocal cords like that. She loves going on walks with me, and we frequently go outside to fly! (She's harness trained.) However, she's also very territorial and very possessive of me, which is something I'm going to have to work on. She absolutely hates my boyfriend, whom she has taken many a chunk out of. He no longer has feeling in the tip of his right pinky. I feel bad for the poor guy! Thankfully he loves birds, and understands the bond. Nevertheless, I am working on making our bond less "matey" and more friendly.
That's all for now, thanks for reading (if you got all the way through it lol)!
