Are there any parrot owners on this forum???

Whats the most exotic bird you own???

I have a 2 year old Blue and Gold Macaw named Merlin(go figure!!), a 3 year old Green-cheeked Conure named Baby and a Sun Conure named Maya :king:

I've handfed Merlin since he was 5 weeks old and rescued Maya from outdoors, so I don't know how old she is(I think she under 5 years old).3:) :t:
 
Would love to see some picture, Merlin, if you can!!

I bet you'd love the book "The Parrot Who Owns Me" by Joanna Burger. Wonderful read!! Story of a scientist at Rutgers U who becomes the third owner of a parrot, Tiko (I don't know parrots, an Amazon of some sort), and after several years of establishing trust, even becomes the subject of his mating rituals.

I've read it twice now, and enjoyed it thoroughly both times.
