I use to have a bird that looked JUST like the one on the right!!!

Wow, you had a blue and gold macaw? Awesome. Noisy birds but smart and affectionate with the people they like. I worked with birds like this for a summer- one of the coolest jobs I've had, i think. Brought home so many gorgeous feathers, too.

Yes I did ^v^ was affectionate for about a year till my sister turned him evil and thats why we gave him away XD

Aww, too bad you didn't get to keep him. Unfortunately, nothing was done to solve the "he went evil" part. Whatever "training" went in to making him that way will have to be dealt with and hopefully, corrected. Giving him away only passed the hot potato to someone else. I hope he's alright, though- I love big birds like that, but the noise would drive me bonkers, unfortunately. The sound-level at the aviary where I worked was insane.

well he wasnt that loud but sometimes he was ^v^ fun bird but no he was passed of to an expert who already had a female blue and golden macaw so hes very happy now

Sweet! Glad to hear he's doing ok. They're bright birds and pretty high maintenence, if I remember right from working at an aviary back home. They had a blue and gold, Hyacinthine, admiral's, and green wing macaws. They were some of the coolest birds they had there. I still have the scar from my first day when an African Grey with an attitude tried to take a chunk out of my arm. The whole scene was hilarious, actually- see, I hadn't noticed I was being bitten, I was concentrating on feeding his cage-mates, and the lady showing the ropes starts squaking "He's biting you! He's bting you!" I look down and sure enough, the little prick's got is beak buried in my forearm. Heh. Afterward she asked me if it hurt, I poked it and said, "Nope. It's already numb..." That job was fun.

XD it sounds like fun!!! But yes there so pretty, and my bird smelled sooo good, like a big box of fruitloops ^v^

The smell I got was different- more a slightly sweet/sour dustiness. I liked it, actually. And I wasn't scared off by the African Grey's attitude- he was too hilariously grumpy for me to hate him, either. We had another Grey that "answered" the phone: whenever it rang, he'd yell out "Ring, ring, hello? Prairie Aviaries... Dennis! Phone!" Cracked me up every time he'd go through that whole routine. He'd hang upside down in his cage, chuckling at me whenever I came by to laugh with him over his joke. That was his way of saying he was having a good time.

dont you love that!!! I know I loved that smell, I miss it... and thats halarious! XD I love when they laugh at you

Some days I deserved their mockery. Heh.

I love when they mock you! so much smarter then stupid humans XD

*giggles* On some days, definitely! >^_____^<
