Petri and Shannon made it safe and sound! I got Petri out of his carrier, no problem. Here is the barking blue and gold next to his birdy blanket. Shannon said he likes fabric, so he has a blanky. He is doing the blue and gold nervous bark, so I only took one picture. More will come. In this pic, he is in the top of a 40x30 King's dometop. The perch is 2 1/2-3" diameter...check out those feet!

I'd like to thank Shannon for rescuing him, and most of all, driving him to me! Shannon, you ROCK! And thanks to Auntie Sarah and Joe for visiting him for me. I REALLY appreciate it.

I'll be posting photos and updates in the future. :)

I didn't realize leaving Petri there would mean leaving a piece of my heart at Matts house.
:'(
I'm so happy to see how relaxed he already was when I left!

Now you know what a BG bark sounds like! Is he huge to you?
Just hand him nuts, he will get over it. He barked at us until I stuck a nut in his mouth. ;)

@2macshan drive safe!!!! Much love to you!!!

He seems big for a B&G to me, but the only parrot size here that awes me is the size of Annie's lower beak. It's a steam shovel! She's almost his size, too, and still growing. I'm happy to say he's gorgeous. I'd forgotten how stunning they are!

So believe it or not Matt, that was me holding it together at your house! And I'm generally not a cryer! Birds really get into my heart.
Erik and I are so excited for this next chapter for Petri. He seemed to know what was going on before I left and he seemed ok with it. I think getting out of his prison cage definitely was a weight taken off of him. He can start a new life now in a new cage with a new family.

Shannon, you were just fine! I'm glad you care so much for him. He certainly needed that. It's people who don't care, who don't have the relationship, that push these birds into the rehoming cycle. Thanks to you, he found an exit ramp in a small town in Ohio with a big, bald guy that adores macaws. :)

Omg seriously I just had myself together :heart:
I am really really happy at the same time. Giving him true love and not treating him like a spare helped him come around faster I think. But also what makes it so difficult.

we all have grown to love him as if he was our own. knowing that he is with Matthew and his love for his birds. I know that he is in a great home. @2macshan @aooratrix @Macawnutz Hugs
Do any of you three realize how many birdie uncles and aunties Petri has in AA alone? You might have to space out giving him his Xmas/holiday presents otherwise he'll be spoiled!

There is a record that Fats Waller did back in the 20's called Yours Feets Too Big, that would apply to Petri, :giggle: no I am not that old just a record collector and a lover of big band music
