All you removed was uk.rec.sheds, which can't possibly have
anything
sensible
in it.

What is the significanse of your nym, "Mr. Macaw"?

I keep parrots.

Cool. I had a Military Macaw I named 'Crowbar' [He was a straight
from
the jungle bronk] a BIG male Scarlet macaw, and a hybred
miltiary/blue
and gold macaw I named 'Elvis'. I had a Moluccan cockatoo I named
'Keenya', and several other hookbills I bought and sold.

I had a Scarlet Macaw that would bite my ear then say "Ouch!" If I
dared to go anywhere near the Blue Fronted Amazon he was best
friends
with, he'd "say "No...."

Elvis had his 6 foot wroght iron cage in the kitchen, but would
pick the
latch and get out so I built a perch on top of the cage for Him to
roost
at night. In the morning He would get down and trot down the
hallway and
get on the bed to wake Me up. He would pull My hare and when I
opened My
eyes, He would bob his head up and down and say "HELLO!" lol He
would
run down the hallway and get up on one of the kitchen chairs and
wait
for breakfast. I put a big bowl of seed in front of him, but he
would
just throw the seed all over the floor. He wanted MY breakfast! The
rascal would eat pancakes and eggs with Me. Dayam cannibal! lol

I bet he had beautiful feathers with all that oil in his diet!

He would get out via the dog door and fly from house to house and
scream
down the vent pipes to hear his echo. 8-o
He ate My fence in the backyard, and ate a hole in the driwall behind
his cage. He was alot of fun except for his destructive beak!

Did he ever bite you?

Never, but that Scarlet Macaw did, and I still have a 2 inch scar on My
arm. He was HUGE Maggie, and his tail hit the floor when he pearched on
R's arm. I sold him to a lady [he loved Women only] who has him still.


I've always said I'd only have a big that size IF I could hand feed it
from the nest box myself and raise it so it would imprint on me and the
family and I'd know it's personality and could train it from a baby.


That's the best way to have a bird as a pet. It's more expensive getting
a baby bird raised domestically, but worth the expense. I'm not sure the
quarantine stations can import psittacines [parrots] anymore, so if you
want a large bird like a Macaw or a Cacatoo, or an African Grey, you
will have to get one from a bird dealer or a pet shop. Rhonda won't let
Me have another big bird after dealing with the mess and damage we had
to contend with. lol


I've always wanted a larger baby bird I could hand raise, but they're
usually way out of price range for me.


I used to know several breeders here back in the early 70's. I think
I'll look in one of My old phone books and see if the #'s are still
good. I'd really like another hand raised BIG Mullucan Cockatoo now
that I can afford one. Greater Sulpher Crested Cockatoos were extreemly
popular in the 70's, and King Tut was the San Diego zoo's Mullucan
Cockatoo greeter. He's gone now, and I think he was over 100 when He
died.
