Well, we have 6 parrots of all different species, so when someone needs help, I tend to be their go-to.
A 94 year old friend could no longer care for her B&G so her daughter whos in her 70s called and asked if I could take in their 30 year old Macaw.
We brought her home a week ago. I know nothing about this species. Heavy sigh. So far we have kept her in her own cage for comfort with the adjustment (even though I think she needs bigger). She LOVES to be outside of her cage, climbing all over the top and sides. She growls a lot but I dont know if its normal. she will take a treat from our fingers. We have not been able to touch her yet and I know thatll take a while. She hasnt been handled in probably 20 years according to previous owner.
Can anyone advise me where to start with learning the body language of this species? I already have a cockatoo, African grey, bf Amazon, and our list goes on. but not one of these. Any advice would be welcome.
Oh, and 2 days ago her owner was put on a ventilator so they rehomed her just in time (sad face).
