Hi! My name is Buddy and I am a 20 year old male Blue & Gold macaw with a big beautiful personality. While I am not a "touchy, feely" sort of guy my macaw charm will sweep you off of your feet! I have lived with Mickaboo before and found a loving happy home, but my parent's situation changed and I am back. I prefer a relatively calm and quiet environment. I can take a little noise and excitement but only for short periods of time. No stressfull situations for me! I am what you could call a well-mannered macaw but even guys like us sometimes forget to use our inside voices and to be gentle with our beaks. I will greet you in the morning with "Hello" or "Hi", and I make kissy sounds. When I get something I like to eat I say "MMMMM" and pin my eyes. I like to take walks on my foster mom's arm and will let her know I'm ready by lifting up my foot. I especially like it when she takes me outside in the sun to soak up some rays on my perch. Some of my favorite foods include: mango, corn, apples, blueberries, papaya, walnuts, almonds and sweet potatoes. I also eat these spicy pellets that aren't too bad either. Lately my foster mom has me working (clicker training-I think they call it?) for some of my treats like pine nuts and small pieces of walnuts. Sheeesh! Imagine that! While I do have a soft spot for young women, I really like everybody including my foster mom's husband, goats, dogs, and 3 other parrots-although the cockatoo is a little weird. So if you are confident and have experience handling a big guy like myself (sorry I don't hire rookies) call my coordinator and we can get together. This just in... I have my own blog.
