Hi, I am new to Avain Avenue. 
I am also a new Macaw owner! 
So look forward to learning many things and appreciate the support here!
My Macaw is ( I am told ) 13 years old. He just started stepping up to my arm!! Was so exciting. He starting to talk to me as well! I've been trying to spend so much time with him, for a smooth transition.
I of course, have LOTS of questions.
But, I will take it slow. I am just so excited to have PoPeye as our family addition!
His cage is in our bedroom. Our bedroom is quite large....almost 1,000 square feet. So works out well.
Although wondered if, there are any effects from bird dander to my husband and I? I seemed to have a bit of a cough since we brought him home. But, could totally be a coincidence! I love him there, because we can spend a lot of time together. It is almost like a mini apartment inside our warehouse style home! So, its the warmest, coziest spot with couch, chairs, TV etc...
He is not ready to come with me to Shower, so tried to 'spray' him. Went okay, but he likes to 'walk away', so I never get all of him. I have done just a light spray to make it a positive experience.
I could try on his perch, but I don't know, if he will feel 'trapped'.
Anyway, Hello again and great to be here!
