A friend of mine needs to rehome her Military Macaw. She has many health issues and he is not getting the attention he needs. She is sad to have to do this but it can't be helped. We prefer someone in Maryland/VA/PA?NJ. No Shipping and NO adoption fee. Here is my friends info to pass on to you here:
Military macaw, approximately 9 years old. I am his second owner and have had him for 4 years. His diets consists of zupreem fruity pellets supplemented by fresh and frozen vegetables, fruits, chicken, eggs, this boy does not turn down ANYTHING and has a voracious appetite. His left wing was broken from being thrown about 4 years ago by one of his previous owners who had a drinking problem. It has never healed correctly but he does just fine. He is very playful, extremely mischievous, does not bite, or at least not us or anyone that has been here. He is very well socialized, talks quite a lot, likes other pets just fine. Does like to tease other birds by getting on top of or into their cages. His previous owners had him since he was an egg. He was seldom ever in a cage until I got him. Sadly now he does not get as much time out as he needs, one of the reason we need to give him up, plus he needs and deserves more attention. He has not been in for well checks. Was very sick three years ago. Was poisoned by one of my grandchildren who sprayed him with cleaning solution instead of water for 3 days. He almost did not make it. Had a 2 week stay at the Falls Church Animal Hospital. Has been absolutely healthy since then as my other bird. It was the first time I ever had an ill bird in my home. This charming macaw does not come with a cage, 1) it is not in such great shape any more, 2) so huge and since we replaced the doors etc, we would now have to remove 2 doors, frame and woodwork to do so. If you have experience with macaws, a relatively small flock where Rocky would have more time out of his cage, more human interaction, and are local to Maryland, VA, Judy will pass your info on to me and I will be in touch with you. Thanks so much for your interest. NO BREEDERS PLEASE!!
