Macaw

[rednekkPH]

Redneck, fingers and thumbs can go bye bye quick in the jaws of a McCaw

And the macaw can go bye bye even quicker in front of the barrel of a 10 ga turkey gun...

My senegal parrot latched onto my thumb once.


key word - once. (I learned my lesson with him) I tried to drown the sucker in the toilet. I had called a friend of mine who has birds wanting to know HOW DO I GET THIS F'ING BIRD OFF MY THUMB. And he said "stick the thumb and bird's head in water. He'll either drown or he'll want to breathe and let go and fly away.




He let go....

Their heads are not attached that tightly that it could not have been separated from its body

Must have been un Bitche Royale to dial the phone with a parrot latched onto your thumb.



What would you have done if he didn't let go before drowning?
(I presume he would've stayed latched on, even in death?)

I was afraid that even if I jerked his little head off it would still be attached to my thumb

no I don't - he became a feather plucker and after consulting with the vet he went to live with a friend who had senegals. Our line of thinking was if he saw all the other birds with all their feathers he wouldn't stand there nekked. Unfortunately their house caught fire and was completely destroyed. They lost all their pets

Now it makes sense.....he is adding the pit bull of birds to the phamily,,,,it eats phruits and nuts btw, not small dogs and annoying children.

Bull terriers, not pit bulls. There is an enormous difference. Don't dare insult my dog by putting their name in the same sentence as a pit bull

that said, pit bulls are naturally sweet dogs. It's bad owners who give them their reputation. I'd say the same thing about birds....if you're a crappy owner, you'll probably have a mean, crappy bird.

that's not always the case. For example when a breed wins the Westminster historically unscrupulous breeders capitalize on the particular breed's popularity and start imbreeding resulting in less desirable dogs. So there instances in where you do everything right - the animal is just hard headed or retarded. It happens with all types of domesticated animals. With birds - the breeding conditions could be deplorable before it even arrives at the bird store which could effect it's interaction with humans in the long run. My lilac crowned amazon parrot loved women but hated men and we always sorta knew a man had to have abused the bird prior to us getting him.

btw - all I had to do (once I realized the little bastage wanted a trophy) was to discreetly shriek my favorite curseword and flail my arm around like it was on fire. Try it next time, it just might work for you too.

trust me - this little sucker had a grip. I did everything!!1 I even had the 357 out and was going to shoot it but then I thought - ok I'm shooting left handed and I'm right handed. What if I miss the bird and shoot myself. A few seconds with his head underwater - he popped right off.

Yes. Completely different breed, personality, and a huge price difference.

Bull Terriers are extremely people oriented, very friendly and good natured, and are down right hilarious dogs, most often described as "clowns in dog suits"....From the AKC website...

Contrary to the opinion of those who do not know him, the Bull Terrier is an exceedingly friendly dog; he thrives on affection, yet is always ready for a fight and a frolic. The preference in this country is for a well-balanced animal, not freaky in any particular, but well put together, active, and agile - a gladiator of perfect form

How did you like the Amazon, Connie? I've been tossing around between one of them and the Hahn's Macaw.
