Hello all, We took Buckle (Shamrock Macaw) out again this after noon. Buckle flew like a pro. The first flight was again a nice long circling around us that...
... Just to clarify. In flight Buckle visually looks to have all the basic flight skills and flying style as any of our other macaws. I am not saying Buckle...

Always so good to hear your news Scott. I wish we had some of your hot weather. I'll be glad when Buckle's appetite kicks back in as Chloe's has. Susan ... ...
Hi Scott, Very interesting update and good work with Chloe! Why is the field enclosed? Was the Kookaburra inside the netting or outside? Just trying to picture...
Hi Scott Wonderful report of Chloe's progress. When they are noisy it really helps! It seems she cannot improve more indoors and she is really ready to the...

Thanks, Paul. I'll forward your post to Jaime. His question was whether there were recorded fatal attacks on Psitticines by migrating Peregrines. I suspect...
... I would think the much more important difference is the difference in species. I have never seen an amazon fly anything like a cockatoo. Cockatoos make it...
Helo Scott, It's great to hear about Chloe progress and excellent recall. Hi also would like to have hot weather here:) Sun and hot temperatures are ideal to...
