Sounds like you jumped in the deep end, into freezing water to boot, but are doing well with the new baby so far. Stick in there, raising a Mac baby takes months of hand feeding and then years until they mature. Congratulations!

I told my dad about this and even he (a non bird person) was outraged at this breeder. I'm glad he went to a capable owner or his story might have ended here.

I think Ally has a different thread going titled "Feeding my new Macaw" if anyone is trying to post to her. I'm not sure which threads she is using? I hope it's all going well for her today.:hug8:

I'm so glad the baby made it home. I was so worried about it being on the plane and not being warm. Now we just have to keep our fingers crossed for the vet visit!

Congratulations Ally! I'm so glad everything has gone so well. Knew you could do it!! As someone else said, bask in the enjoyment of this little one. You have had to jump in and learn so fast...and it sounds like you've done an outstanding job. You should really be proud of yourself.
