Hello people,
my name is Brigitta and I found this website when desperately looking for help with our new familymember Rock, a b&g macaw. We used to have a greenwing macaw named Milan and he was my everything. He came to live with us when he was about 50 yrs old, half dead, handicapped because of the abuse he had to suffer, and we were his fosterhome that were able to give him some more beautiful years. He wasn't easy, but we all loved him so much and when he just dropped dead one day, my heart was broken. I didn't even want another parrot anymore, cause I knew I would always compare them with Milan and that wouldn't be fair. He was the best pet ever, he was even more than a pet, he was amazing.
I live in Europe, so I hope my english is good enough, cause it's not my first language .
I also have 3 dogs, 10 cats, 2 guinea-pigs and 1 lizard, and next to that I also foster dogs for several animal shelters (very old or sick dogs that can't stay in the shelter, so they stay here untill the shelter finds them a new owner).
I hope to find advice here what to do with my new macaw, cause I am desperate .
And it's nice to read all peoples stories and see all the beautiful pictures, especially because I love the way most people here handle their parrots. In my country the general idea is that a bird (pet) needs to be locked up in a cage and you can't be too good for him/her cause then they get too dominant, blablabla...here I read so much love for the birds and it makes me feel very much at home .
Thank you for reading this .
