Here's what the humans have to say about me:
"KONA"
Blue & Gold Macaw
Fostered by Christy & Eric of Port Richey, FL
Kona is a 2 year old Macaw who is special needs, he has what is called splay leg. He looks like he is doing the splits and can not put his legs down. He can not stand, walk or perch, but don’t tell Kona he can’t do these things because he has never been able to do them, so he doesn’t miss them! But he can climb, he is really good a climber! He does fall sometimes, but that is getting to be rare and his cage just needs to be kept in a special way to accomodate that. He has never flown and we don’t believe he can, but we do keep his wings clipped just in case he were to surprise us and himself. We keep a large pillow on the bottom of his cage and he likes to sleep on his pillow at night. Kona loves toys. He will take a month or so before he will play with new toys, but then he loves them. His favorite type of toys are bells and he loves to make noise by ringing them! When you feed him you have to remember he can’t hold the food with his foot, so you will want to make sure fruit and veggies are cut in to small bite size pieces and you crack nuts for him. We bathe him in a couple inches of water in the bath tub, he doesn’t like it, but it has to be done a few times a week (as with all birds!). Kona is a sweet bird. He will need someone who has time to spend with him. He is friendly with you once he gets to know you (typical Macaw!). I like to take him from his cage and set him on my lap. He likes to lay against my chest and give kisses. He does say a few words…. “Mom”, “Hello”, “What”, “Truuuuuuuck” (our dogs name truck) and laughs. This a wonderful bird, won’t you it find in your heart to give him a forever home where his special needs will be celebrated and appreciated?
