My hybrid, Buddy, has always been peculiar which I attributed to being locked in a cage for 10 years because her owner was afraid to handle her. In the ten years she's been my pet, She has never made any attempt to get along with my four other large macaws. Occasionally, she even picks fights but the other macaws generally ignore her behavior. She even got into an altercation with Fuzzy the wild macaw and the wild macaws won't come down if she is within striking range so I usually put her on her own swing when the wild ones are around. This morning she showed interest in a single macaw that was up in the palm tree nearby. She got closer on the patio set chair ,did some vocalization , lowered her wings and wiggled her tail feathers. Is this the macaw equivalent of a singles bar? The other macaw must be part of the UM flock because he was alone and didn't access the feeder stocked with walnuts. Eventually he flew off as I think he was very wild, fearful and probably was confused about Buddy's lack of flying . She has full flight wings but is the only one of my macaws that have not tried flying.
