I know the new owner will love and take very good care of him as much as you all have. It's so wonderful that you can still see him too! <BR/>xoxo,<BR/>QueenieQueenie's Vintage Findshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00721900066940447320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8801888711466657714.post-49824111877905495972008-12-24T07:00:00.000-08:002008-12-24T07:00:00.000-08:00I read this story and it brought back some memorie...I read this story and it brought back some memories for me. My hubby had an African Grey and a Eclectus when we got married. Problem was the birds HATED me. I tried so hard to win them over and the Electus eventually tolerated my feeding and holding him. But the Grey would bite me everytime I got near. Since I was the one who was home most of the time it fell to me to clean their cages, feed them and give them the attention they needed. Eventually I got tired of the bites...and tired of trying to win that dang bird over. My hubby finally realized that it wasn't going to work and he decided to give them both away to his Aunt who trained and showed parrots. I tried hard not to push him either way...but what a relief when they were finally gone. I'm a pet person...I love all animals...but dang those birds just made me crazy! I know he still misses them...but I hate to admit I don't!nikkicrumpethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06127473424859610429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8801888711466657714.post-89491530453365637522008-12-23T17:09:00.000-08:002008-12-23T17:09:00.000-08:00(((Hugs))) Fids are like that.

She will step up to most anyone, but I am her favorite. <BR/><BR/>They can really be destructive. Zoey has tried to eat my Bannister and the china cabinet. They china cabinet, fortunately, did not receive a scratch! <BR/><BR/>Sorry you had to give your beloved Fid away.

I would love to have a macaw myself but I had no idea that they required sooo much time!4 hrs a day is quite a lot!(obviously more research is needed on my part *winks*) Maybe I'll have to rethink my macaw dreams and find myself a smaller bird. I do know that they live very long lives and frequently outlive their owners. So a young owner is about as close to a perfect ticket as can be. I know it must have been a very difficult decision for y'all. My heart goes out to you!

It broke my heart. I know McCaws are very destructive.I would love to have another parrot. But, those are the reasons I haven't gotten another one. They are just like babies. At least we can take Sammie and Brandie on vacations with us. Thinking of you!!!

I'm so tired of snow already but hopefully I can get some pictures for you later today. I'm sorry Riley had to go but at least you know he'll be loved and played with there. Teenagers have so much energy! Merry Christmas dear friend. I hope to hear from you soon {{smiles}}!
