I told Animal she could go if she needed to, and I would take good care of her friends. That was the last time sue stood on her own; for the next hour, I held her until she was gone. The end was hard to watch, but I’m glad she wasn’t alone.
Warning: bite shown for educational purposes. In my experience this is rare, but I take responsibility for not communicating clearly with my bird in that situation. The fault is mine, and I share to help others understand the reality of life with companion parrots. #parrot #macaw #hyacinthmacaw #petbird #aviculture
PLEASE be careful who you take bird care advice from. Think critically, compare to multiple resources and above all else - respect your pets. The goal is to cohabitate with them, not to crush their spirit into fitting into our lifestyles. #parrot #petbird #aviculture #flocktok #birdtraining #pets #birds
Replying to @uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhokaylol Why I couldn’t keep Chip; this is a long one, but it’s hard to explain major life events briefly. After this, it’s time to move on - there’s a lot of great recent news to share. #parrot #macaw #rescuebird #petbird #pets #rehomingpets
Replying to @Wydjamess😝 Of course I have photos & video of Chip! I’m relieved to know he is loved again, and have thought ( and talked ) of him often. I was his 3rd owner that I know of, but the first to handle him. #parrot #macaw #blueandgoldmacaw
