Jackie, I talked to him last night and he did recover the bird. Apparently he was 5 doors down hiding under a parked car! Thanks for help though. Cheers, Mike ...
Great. They are always closer than you think. So this one thinks it is a cat huh? Odd a 10 yr old would hide down low. I hope you get to show him Alki flying...
Kathy, emily, Jackie, Andrew, Kim? or others ? l might as well go on... calling all owners of macaws? lol, Are all of these birds mentioned here macaws?...
Mandy: Re: Macaws: All I will comment on is Polo. He is a Red Front Macaw: You know I got him at 4 months old and hand feed him a couple times a day. He is...
... oh gosh, hearing it said that way makes it sound so irresponsible!! If I remember, he does fly to you, just on your head, not hand, and the drawback to...
... Hi Mandy, Zilla is a Buffons Macaw and Madison is a GWM. Kathy has lots of other Macaws and Andrew has a few too. I don't have any Macaws. I'm pretty...
I think recall has more to do with the owner than the bird. Granted Macaw owners are usually a lot different than CAG owners. Except for Karin, of course,...
Hi Mandy, "...has Kim compiled the data yet of list members birds? do macaws score high on the recall question?" The short answer is no, Kim hasn't........
hey, this is the beginning of something big, here, Kim. nobody has ever tried to compile anything of this sort. it will get refined, more data will come in,...

Mandy Sorry you have not understood with Mirt. She is a wild caught Timneh hen. she has been here 20 months. She came here unable to perch or fly and with...
Hi Mandy, Zilla was a regular at the old building but only flew once at the new one in Kent. When I got him he was unable to open his wings or close his feet....
... I guess I don't have any birds here that meet your criteria (especially the part about "continued to respond every time you set up a training session"). I...
... Kathy, do you know the reason for this? Was it health? Confinement? Injury? ... This is partially why I think the issue at this point is just not enough...
Mandy asked: "B. For those who do recall training, did you have a bird that responded the first time you trained, and continued to respond every time you set ...
Hi Kathy, "...I have 6 large macaws all flighted and there really is a difference in how they fly depending on wheather or not they fledged. I fly 3 of them...
Hi all, I've just found the group and am trying to follow the Zilla thread. Could someone explain what you mean when you talk about fledging? Are you actually...
Hi Karen, By "fledging" I mean that the bird has been allowed to learn to fly as a baby--at the time when it is first inclined. And fledging means really ...
Hi Mandy "...nobody has ever tried to compile anything of this sort." Kim: Hehehe! Try to guess why! Mandy: "...so far, no scientific conclusion to draw from...
Janet just wanted to tell you the pictures you have been sending in are just wonderful, big clear photo's. Bitsy is very beautiful. Did you get a new camera? ...
Kim wrote: "Mandy: Now, this is tricky because you might be in the first category, yet think you are in the second if you have a very in-tune responsive bird. ...
Maybe you're searching in the wrong info. Instead of looking at the birds, maybe you should look at the trainers Bart ... One thing to add to that though, the...
I never trained my birds to stay, but I see a disctinct difference between Wacko and Luna. Wacko is happy to sit on me, Luna is the brad. I guess age (Wacko is...
