My first day at work!!! (with a mystery double jeapordy question)

[TwilightsImprint]

Ok so some of you have requested to know what kind of birds my wonderful new employer has. He has the following.



Two green wing macaws- one has plucking issues does anyone have any insight on this? how to get them to stop?

1 Scarlette Macaw- agressive but who is my new project. By the time christmas comes i want him to step up for me.... or at least let me clean his cage without trying to kill me. Suggestions?

A Congo African Grey who is shy but that seems a simple fix.

A Hyacinth who is gorgeous and wonderful but who has a cheeky side.

And a mystery bird. Can anyone guess what it is. here are some hints.

He was a giant,
He blushes quite easily if you embarass him
He has a bite larger than a harlequin or a hyacinth

They mystery bird is a black palm cockatoo!!!!

 

[Quiverful]

That Grey must feel so tiny around all those big guys!!

 

[hsmoscout]

They mystery bird is a black palm cockatoo!!!!

If it was bigger than a hy, no way it's a too!

 

[hsmoscout]

It was obviously not a parrot...

 

[atvchick95]

If it was bigger than a hy, no way it's a too!

she said his BITE is bigger not the birds size

He was a giant,
He blushes quite easily if you embarrass him

Im going with the Black Palm too its the only thing I can think of with colored cheeks that is big LOL

 

[hsmoscout]

Peach face lovebird!

 

[Quiverful]

A black palm will also blush....pretty spectacularly, too. It's bite is definitely bigger and the Goliaths might rival the large macaws on body size. I'll have to research that one!

 

[ckisokay]

Yep, might be a lovebird!!

 

[atvchick95]

taken from some one who gets the living day lights bit out of her daily from a love bird, I'd say nope - their bites are nothing near a macaws and i've never been bit by a macaw but I've been bit by lovebirds,budgies, tiels,(broken skin beak stuck in), Quakers,conures and an Indian ringneck

 

[Quiverful]

Goliaths range from 1000g-1300g and 60-70cm in length.

The Hy averages 1250g and 100cm in length....that long tail really adds up

My M2 bit me once on the base of my hand...where it joins the wrist. It wasn't even a full force bite..more of a nip and my hand swelled and I couldn't use it for 2 days..the pain lasted a week!

I'm POSITIVE a Goliath's bite would be amazing!!!

 

[atvchick95]

uh is she leaving us hanging???? LOL

 

[Quiverful]

Looks that way...grrr....LOL

 

[TwilightsImprint]

FOr those of you who guessed a Black palm cockatoo you are correct. And he's gorgeous you cant even know how wonderful a bird he is. He's a Goliath BPC and I'm just in love with him. Though I did sustain my first cockatoo bite and that's a big beak lol. he god his whole mouth around my forarm... that goodness for a quick reaction on my part.

 

[Quiverful]

A Goliath Black Palm is my ultimate dream bird! You are so lucky to be up close and personal on a daily basis!! Can you get any pics?

 

[TwilightsImprint]

I probably cant get pics but I'll ask if I find a spare minute. I really want to respect the privacy and the home of my employer.

 

[GG.]

all I can say is wow, (while wiping the drool from the screen)

you are most fortunate to be able to be around them daily

 

[Thugluvgrl187]

You are so lucky!!

Ok so some of you have requested to know what kind of birds my wonderful new employer has. He has the following.



Two green wing macaws- one has plucking issues does anyone have any insight on this? how to get them to stop?
Whats his cage like ste up? Is he housed with the other GW? Toys? DIET?

1 Scarlette Macaw- agressive but who is my new project. By the time christmas comes i want him to step up for me.... or at least let me clean his cage without trying to kill me. Suggestions? Respect his space, hsi wishes, keep you eye and down and dont look at him from close up, give him treats if he will take them, or just eat infront of him, and offer him a bite time to time.

A Congo African Grey who is shy but that seems a simple fix. Repect his space and his wishes and you'll become friends with him. Temped him in with treats and healthy bribes.

A Hyacinth who is gorgeous and wonderful but who has a cheeky side. Dont they all?

And a mystery bird. Can anyone guess what it is. here are some hints.

He was a giant,
He blushes quite easily if you embarass him
He has a bite larger than a harlequin or a hyacinth

Have fun at this new birdie job! And yes yes, if you can, please get pictures. Ofcourse ask before you take them Your doing good!
