Meeting neighbors
Hello,
I'm new here. I have a Hahns macaw that we bought last year. His name is Rocky. We was told he was 10 years old and male. By now he will be 11. We are not to sure if he is male but we are not sure as we don't know the differences. I am hoping if i tell you the things he says and his personality you may be able to help me. Also he is not tame, i can stroke him some times but he won't come on our shoulders or arm.
His personality: Very loud squarker, like biting fingers and wont let any hands near him ( we think this is because he has a defected beak, so we think he has just been grabbed and had it trimmed in the past where as we take him to the vets but it is starting to sort its self out), lets me, a 14 year old female, stroke him most of the time and kiss his beak, sometimes will let my mum stroke him, doesnt like my dad or my 9 year old brother unless my brother talks to him about computer games. When i'm at school he always screams for me, weather anyone else talks to him, he wont take any notice its just me he wants. I have read though that they are a one person bird, so am i that one person? Also one minute he can be very loving, but the next he is some evil thing. Another thing, anything comes in the back garden like a cat or a squirrel, he will squark his head off until it either goes away or we shut the curtain. He doesn't like it when my dads friends come in. I just think he dont like men.
Things he says:
Hello (in different tones)
Hello There (in different tones)
Whats that?
Out
Get in there
Shut up
No
He laughs in 3 different ways
He coughs when you cough
He sneezes when you sneeze
He snivels when you snivel
when your stroking him, he says thats good
Sarah (my mum)
Wheres sarah? (my mum)
Grant (my dad)
Bailey (my brother)
And he never stops squarking Kira (me)
Thanks
