Webster’s “Dad” contacted me last week when he found that he did not have sufficient time to spend with this magnificent greenwing macaw. Dad liked the set up of the Parrot Haven, knowing that Webster would be living with a houseful of macaws, lounging
in a spacious room and allowed to play outside on a daily basis. Dad didn’t know if I would accept such a large bird and I spent about 2 minutes mulling it over. I don’t need another bird, but how could I turn down this friendly and loveable mush. Dad wanted my husband & I specifically to keep this bird, so he is not up for adoption. Dad signed a contract and if he changes his mind, he is free to take Webster back, though I would miss him terribly. Parrot Haven has a policy that if an owner who has given up a bird, under fostering, that the bird can always be returned at any time, unlike the policy of some rescue organizations.
Update 6/3/02/ Webster has bonded with Kehena, my scarlet. The two are inseparable. I can't imagine life without the two of them as they tumble all over the place, like two babies, wrestling with each other. It's great just to watch them play together. |
