My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

"ROCKY"
Blue & Gold Macaw
Fostered by Jen of Winter Park, FL

Rocky is a 21 year old Blue and Gold Macaw. He is in perfect feather and is not a screamer. The only time he lets out a scream is when his people are not in the same room as he is and he is feeling lonely. Rocky had been owned by the same man since he was 3 months old. His owner has a medical condition and can no longer care for him.
Rocky can say “Hello Rocky” and “Hi Rocky” and will probably talk more when he becomes more comfortable. He is a little wary of new people at first and will lunge a couple of times right now before he steps up for the first time. He is not a biter however, and his lunges are just warnings to let you know he is scared. He just needs lots of love and positive reinforcement.
Rocky will take food from your hand very gently, and he has perfect macaw table manners when he eats with you. Rocky has never had a real shower in 21 years and we are working on that with him. He had a shower for about 10 seconds when he first got to his foster home, but he was less than thrilled so the acclimation to showering may take a little while.
Rocky is going to need a forever home with plenty of attention to give and some previous macaw experience, as he can be a little strong-willed. He is talking well with the other feathered friends in the house and he doesn’t really pay any attention to the cat or dogs. Are you the right person to give Rocky a forever home?
