My story

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

Lucy is a Severe Macaw who is 10 years old and has been in three different homes. Lucy has never been handled and has a history of laying eggs. Of course she is hand-shy and cage dominant and has a salty language repertoire! Lucy loves attention but not handling - she will need a patient person to allow her to come out on her own and be safe. Her new diet is pellets, fruits and veg with a little seed. Previously she was not on a healthy diet but she is now eating an appropriate diet. She is healthy and at a perfect weight. Lucy's adoption fee is $350.
