Update:
We received an overwhelming number of applications for 1 macaw. If we don't reach out in a timely fashion it's not personal it's just us trying to make the best decision for the one bird who is currently looking for a home. Bare with us as we work through these applications. ❤️

By now just about everyone has seen the pictures, the cages filled with pistachios and the tallest p**p tower we've ever seen. Our initial involvement was simply a clean out.. we took out about 300lbs of pistachio shells... Scrubbed for hours... And killed more spiders than I ever want to see again. The owner wasn't ready to let the birds leave so we left them with food, toys, new perches and clean cages.

We took down our last posts because we actually had an opportunity to go back and get those birds out of that situation. The birds are all scheduled for the vet this Saturday and we could really use some help from our amazing Avian community. Out of respect for the family we will not be posting pictures of the birds but we will remind you of their living conditions.

Lily takes her self care seriously... Every day sometimes multiple times a day she takes a nap while soaking her feet.

Now you might think that she then drinks feet water.... Nope. She will only soak her feet if there are two water bowls available. If I don't put two in her cage she'll go to someone else's cage and soak her feet in their water bowl. So rather than soaking her feet for pain or anything like that we actually think this is her dramatic way to wash her feet because she's a ground bird and likes to spend the rest of her days foraging on the ground.

Major her counterpart does not partake in this daily ritual so it seems to be more of a preference for Lily

Life with birds is never dull. When you mix a disabled bird and a young bird who "loves hard" it makes it even more interesting. While this looks shocking we figured it's a good opportunity to remind people to always have some kind of emergency fund for their birds. While this injury was actually superficial it could have been a catastrophic injury, and to be on the safe side he was seen at the vet the same day and cost us an unexpected $200. Two days later he looks like nothing ever happened.

This interaction highlights something very important about CAGs. In the beginning you see Apollo ask for a snack and even initially showed interest in wanting to step up. He quickly changed his mind and decided all he really wanted was the snack.

The number one issue we come across with people who want to own CAGs and people who already own them is that they're misreading signals from the bird and looking for an unrealistic level of engagement from them. Most CAGs are very independent and want to hang out with you but not necessarily be held by you. If you think about all the amazing CAGs we see on social media think about the fact that normally they're not being held, how in fact you seldom ever see one on these popular pages being held. We love CAGs and we interact with ours daily but we probably spend less than 5 minutes a day holding them because that's not what they're interested in.
