This is Baby or "Boo-Boo". She is a huge beautiful, physically perfect, splendid specimen of a Scarlet Macaw. Unfortunately her previous owner recently lost a battle with cancer. Her previous owner was in and out of the hospital for the last year and as a result Boo-Boo did not get the daily attention that a large macaw needs. We have been working with her for the past several months now and she is now a wonderful pet quality parrot. She is slightly territorial of her cage but she will step up on your hand to come out or you can just open the cage door and she will come out and perch on the open door. Once she is out of her cage, she fine. If you touch her somewhere she doesn't like she will sort of growl slightly and act like she is going to bite, but she rarely does. If she ever does, it is more like a warning nip that a hard bite. She is getting much better every day. Once you get to know her, you can pet her and touch her anywhere with out any worries at all. She even lets us pet her under her armpits. She speaks very well. She says Hello, Hi, Hi Boo-Boo, Uh-Oh, What, Step up and a few other words here and there. She is only 5 years old. That is still a Juvenile since Macaws live over 80 years. She is a wonderful bird and if she does not get placed soon, one of us will gladly keep her. She is fully flighted and is comfortable wearing the
aviator flight harness. She is learining how to fly with it. There is nothing more fun that taking a wonderfully striking bird like this and flying her like a kite through the park.
