Baby birds need A LOT of praise and encouragement when they do the right thing. In this video is the baby blue throated macaw I named, Zoey. She is still a baby and just learning how to fly around and use those wings of hers! When birds are so young, they’re [...]

Upside down: Galah”Bondi”
The first bird I ever trained to go upside down and do the “bat” was my galah, Bondi, who is currently 4 years old. The second bird I trained to do the bat impression was my blue throated macaw, Jinx, and most recently I trained my 1.5 year old [...]

One of the tricks that is a must for me to train, is getting the bird to lay on its back in my hands. That behavior or “trick” just means the world to me and I love achieving it with my birds.
I recently trained my blue throat macaw to [...]

My amazing friend Jeannie (whose Amazon parrot I took in for 45 days…) recently got VERY into outdoor freeflight with her parrots along with her friend, Sheri, and her husband, John. I absolutely LOVE going on freeflight trips with them whether it’s in Florida, Virginia or Utah. [...]

I got my blue throated macaw, whom I call “Jinx”, back in October 2008. He lived with me in Orlando for less than a month before I took my first traveling trip (via airlines) with him to Seattle, Washington for Halloween (I love spending holidays with my flock!)

I wanted to spread the word that I made my first ever Squidoo page, on well, Squidoo! It’s on blue throated macaws (inspired by the one and only Jinxi!) and has tons of helpful tips and information on diet and care of these endangered little guys. [...]

Twins: Blue Throated Macaws “Dreadful” and “Gleam”
Thinking about traveling internationally with your blue throated macaw? I was, so like me, think again.
Now, I’m not completely inexperienced with traveling with my parrots. I’ve done it before, but never with a blue throated macaw who is considered an Appendix 1 to CITES. Half [...]

How lucky I am! This is what I do for a living, well, among other things I choose to do on the side but this is my primary passion (although it wasn’t always this way) and I love it to the fullest [...]

Pictured: Two Female Blue Throated Macaws, 1.5 Months Old
I wanted to share the newest photo of the two blue throated macaw babies at a month and a half old of age. I think they look so beautiful and adorable! It’s really neat to see them grow up through images.
