Wednesday is your birds name? I like Wednesday as a name as much as I like Tuesday as a name- the other days of the week don't work for names though I don't think.
Yes, Wednesday indeed! For sure, I agree. I saw a lady called Sunday recently, though, which didn't seem too bad!
I hear you. It was an intentional match as the breeder had contacted some US breeders about the health and vigor of the progeny, and he liked the style and colour of them, and is a fan of the personalities of both parent birds. I've looked into them as much as possible with little information available. A lot of macaw hybrids are out there now. In Oz we seem to have a lot due to limited availability of some species.
I was looking for a mini-mac and saw a picture of her online. She was bred in Mackay, Australia by a macaw breeder.
Wonderful idea to make a thread about airlines!I was looking for a mini-mac and saw a picture of her online. She was bred in Mackay, Australia by a macaw breeder.
Her mum is hahns and dad is the sun.
She was flown down by JetPet, and she handled the flights really well.
At some point I'll make a post about birds on airlines, as there isn't much info on that, and I learned a lot.
We could hear her yelling the depot down to be let out of her carrier. She scoffed plums all the way home, and when I opened the carrier, she was on me in a flash and is all-round super friendly.
She does party bookings with me in my role as a sideshow performer, and she has a great, unflappable temperament. Her first booking was a WILD costume party with really loud music, and she was great.
The only thing she doesn't like is ladies trying to pat her with painted nails!
She spends about 10hrs a day with me, and the rest of the time in the bird room (my bedroom lol). Her cage was repurposed for budgies. She used to go in it and be rolled outside for fresh air, but now we just go for walks.
Macaw hybrids occur within the same genus, while a sun conure and Hahn’s macaw are in entirely different genera, so they are much further apart evolutionarily/genetically. I wouldn’t take the health of macaw hybrids as evidence that a macaw/conure hybrid will also be healthy long-term. Nonetheless, I am glad she is receiving the medical attention she needs.
Yes, I hear you on the different genus. Still close enough to interbreed, though I know that doesn't assure good health, as evidenced by sun/gcc mixes, which are a health disaster when they breed.
She’s so cute
I hope you feel better
Better now. She hasn't seen me much with a migraine. It's a thang happens regularly though :/
