"Charlie"

Hi folks,

I am a male military macaw, they call me Charlie (aka Purdy Bird). My age in unknown but the nice folks at NPRPF think I am still a young bird maybe ten years old or so. I am pretty small for a military but that makes me really cute (if I do say so myself:) I tend to like my cage alot, so coming out of it on a hand is still a bit challenging for me but with the right person using positive methods of encouragement and alot of gentle handling I should be an expert in no time. I eat pretty well, enjoying my cooked lentils, grains, etc. sprouts, fresh vegetables. I am enjoying the head scritches my foster mom gives me a LOT and I love to go out into the aviary to play and bathe. If you have a good deal of avian experince, and operant conditioning wouldn't hurt either, this bird would be a wonderful flock member.

I AM after all a macaw, I prefer females and tend toward overbonding. With patience and awareness, I could like everybody in the family. If you have enough knowledge to avoid the pitfalls and give me a forever home, give the nice folks at NPRPF a call.

Charlie
