As someone who fell in love with Biro and Susan's blue throats I am biased. They have a delicacy of movement in flight that is wonderful to watch and they...

... It is hard for me to understand how some people cannot enjoy raising a baby bird. I was just observing a young scarlet drinking from the sink. It was so...

I hear what you are saying but I have a problem with it. I keep thinking of the macaw parents who dont get to raise their chicks(kids?) But enjoy your birds I...

I love the antics of babys too. I enjoyed the baby Buckle vid. (running across the floor to be fed). you should share more baby vids like drinking from your...
... I think if we are going to keep them in captivity then we need to find effective methods to keep them and us happy in this relationship. I would rather see...
Our apologies for those who think this matter is not approproate for parrot lists. This bill is far from dead and looking more ominous every day. In...
It is my personal goal to let all of my breeding macaw pairs raise their offspring until they are weaned. THEN, I am going to bring them in the house and...
Ummm, they fledge THEN wean... I don't understand? Linda/FL ... It is my personal goal to let all of my breeding macaw pairs raise their offspring until they...
... In the wild it would be impossible to get to the food to wean if the bird could not already fly. So the natural sequence would indeed be fledge then wean. ...
It hasn't happened yet. It's a goal. I want the parents to feed the babies until they are weaned, or nearly weaned. But, because they can not fledge inside a...
I agree with Chris regarding the Hanh,s. Be sure to watch the Hahn's (better have two) behaviour towards your conures and your B&G. As it "might" happen that...
Thanks Bud, I will buy some and let you know how it goes. Not sure I will buy Peach faced ones.....(their vocals don't agree with me...) I think I will go for...

Right, Chris. The original statement posted was: "It is my personal goal to let all of my breeding macaw pairs raise their offspring until they are weaned....
Yes, Cynthia, I'm sorry I sounded confusing. I answered Chris in this post: "....Right, Chris. The original statement posted was: "It is my personal goal to...
Hi Linda, I think your post got cut off by yahoo, cause I didn't see the first part. Yes, normally they fledge then wean, because that's what happens in the ...
... Depending on your definition of "fledge" it is sort of possible to do it the other way around. There is pretty much no stopping the baby bird from making...
The couple of Illiger's macaws (mini macaws) I've been around have been quite mildly tempered. If Hahns tend to be fighters (I don't know if they are), you...
Susan, Reference below, do these aggressive acts occur inside an aviary or when outside, free? Do they gang-aggress? Can you go further into detail? I'm ...
Hi, as I said to Curtis, I will record losses here. Skinner and Darwin (amazons) were out and about today among others. All are back and inside their flights....
... We may have to define the term "fledge" here. It normally would refer to a young bird in the wild who makes its first flights as it leaves the nest. In...
Good post, Chris. In reference to the 2 macaws that weaned before they fledged here; they both rejected formula completely, and were eating solid food on their...
... Show me the adult I've raised who refuses a warm syringe :-) But agreed, as fledglings, they reach a point where they don't want it. They just rethink...

Thanks Chris and Susan! It is truly appreciated! Just back in, as it get's dark here now.... I managed to wreck my car in the search ( it is inside a huge...
