Let's face it! There isn't very much information on the net from severe macaw owners and the valuable experiences they have when it comes to living with SEVERE Macaws, hence THIS blog.
I will mainly write about my sweet and ever SO GOOFY severe macaw Mabel. On the occasion, my 2 other parrots, Sachi white capped pionus parrot & Emma my african grey will make special cameo appearances. At times I may even blurb about random topics too. Enjoy your time here!
A few weeks ago we received our first and very anticipated toy order from the I Got A Wood Bird Toys team. It was so nice to open up the box and see such wonderful enrichment for my parrots, but wait, there was even a surprise gift from our dear friend Merlie! The wonderful toy she sent our way is the beautiful one you see with pink ruffles. It's made out of basswood and Mabel absolutely loves it. It's official name on the site is Tootsie Tangle! Even though I had only ordered 4 items, the box weighed more than a whopping 6lbs. Fortunately for me, they celebrated their one year anniversary not too long ago and had a fantastic sale which also included 20$ off any shipping fees to Canada. I was not going to miss out on such a generous offer, so after oogling over the toys on their site for the past year, I placed my order and am thoroughly tickled each time I see each of my parrots using their I Got A Woody perches & toys. Not only are these products whimsical in appearance, but also exactly what your parrots have on their wish list. This wonderful small business is owned by two lovely ladies named Dawn and Leslie. Each toy is handcrafted one at a time with dedication towards fun and safety. They both have feathered flocks of their own and adore them the way I do mine. At this point, are you wondering about their customer service? They are very customer focused, you'll be very pleased! Hope you enjoy our photos and videos. http://www.igotawoodybirdtoys.com/index.html
Took these lovely shots of my Grey Girlie yesterday. Life is great and my flock is well. We are thankful for everything we have. Hope all of our readers are enjoying great weather too.
I really love this photo of Mabel. I hope you enjoy it too. I really do not have any talent when it comes to taking photos. I simply use a point and shoot camera, then hope for the best. Sometimes I get really lucky and end up with a photo like this one. Of all my 3 parrots, Mabel is the one that makes me feel the most gratified as a parrot owner. I think this is because I had to overcome several personal obstacles along the way before becoming a person who is *truly* worthy of taking care of a severe macaw. Occasionally, I still can't believe that I have 3 parrots, and one is a severe macaw? Time has really flown by since October 2010!! I used to be convinced that I had lost my mind when I decided to welcome her into my home. Thanks to Mabel, I am happy to publicly declare that I love all severe macaws! ALL of them. Even the ones I have never met. I wish everyone could feel the wonder of loving a severe macaw. They are pretty Magical!
