Meet Harley!
A Harlequin Macaw.
Harley is a hybrid, meaning that he has 2 different parents.
Harley's mother is a blue and gold Macaw and his father is a greenwinged Macaw.
Pretty............yes, but it's not good to breed 2 different species of birds.......it brings about the Heinz 57 variety
or the Bird Mutts of the world!!!
Harley hails from Michigan.
Sadly, he spent many years of his life living in a dog crate with no perches or toys and very little room to move. Stressful living conditions led Harley to self mutilation. Eating only sunflower seeds, what feathering he had, was ragged and dull in color.
Constant screaming and confinement had his "owners" wanting rid of this nasty, UGLY Bird. This is a 5 year transformation.
Out of neglect or abuse or need , regardless of Behavior or "LOOKS"
these wonderful creatures have come to

That Guy With The Birds!
Calypso had 6 or 7 previous owners.
I was called to take a noisey, biting Mexican Red Head of 23-25 years old.
To my amazement , she is a RedFronted Macaw.
Somewhere along the line , Nobody knew what type of parrot they had. A "Pet store" Idenified her as an Amazon.
Noisey ?
It's their Nature !
Parrots will be Parrots.
