Hi guys. Been away for awhile Update... Cosmo is doing excellent! He now goes to my sister! She started out taking him from his cage, and now he will go to her from me I'm still working on getting my mom to take him, but she is still fraid of him. Even though before my stepmom had him he would go to her, so now I gotta work on my mom not being afraid. Anyway- so far it's better then ever

Really glad to hear that Astro! How is our buddy Cosmo doing? I think I need a Cosmo fix ... you need to upload some new pictures for us, you know how much I love those BIG MACS (and I am not talking the ones from the place with the Golden Arches)!!

I'm working on getting more pics. I got a little video on my phone of him taking a bath, but the quality stinks. I'm just gonna have to go buy a video camera

Absolutely. Once you get him back in his old routine, being handled a lot, it will be just like old times - ONLY BETTER.

One thing I have learned from half a decade of rescuing parrots - some of whom were macaws that had been kept in poor condition, in crappy cages, that hated life, and hated people for doing this to them -

Once they have it good, they become overly appreciative, and are almost "grateful." They want to be playful and mushy. They get angry and spiteful. Given the opportunity to be a playmate again, they will.

Macs have to be handled a lot or they will bite. Period! It's normal. He will turn around, and probably in short order. Don't worry. All it takes is a little patience and handling, and above all Love.

Thanks - I can see his getting more "Mushy" than before! I love it. When I come home from work he's right by the front door- so we have a ritual where I go over and give him lots of kisses- I have a uniform so I go change before I let him out of the cage, but he loves it when get home. He usedto hate it when I would put him to bd, but he is calm now becasue I give him a goodnight nut and wisper at him- It's pretty funny-he actually wispers back. Cracks me up
