Default MACAW NOW HAS A NEW LOVING HOME... THANKS EVERYONE!!

She is in need of a new home bless her!

She was a rescue bird.... she has plucked her feathers off her chest bless her cos the people who used to own her didnt have a clue! but they have started to grow back nicely now!

She needs someone with a bit of patience!

Her mummy and daddy have split up and neither of them are in a position to look after her any more....

Shes a lovely girl called Lill... 6 years old she likes the men better than the ladies! lol

She would come with her cage and stand and toys.....

If you or you know anyone who might want to give her a loving home... let me know.

Cheers Stu!

Just a loving home really... shes cost me a small fortune... but i just need to know she has someone who will give her the time and attention she really really needs!

My Mrs would love one of these, She is in all day with her kid and would love Parrott to keep her comapany... she keeps trying to get our neighbour to give her his
they are great companions... but i dont think she'd like the kids? im not sure... she really needs someone who has a lot of patience!

hope she finds a good home M, i know you'd love to keep her yourself, but i hear your pet shop is full atm


Id love to keep her hun.... but im lucky enough to be able o bring my dog to where im staying at the moment... i think id be pushing it if i was to bring the parrot too! lol

Keep me in mind unless someone who better suits comes along

Awwwwwwwww, that's sad that is. Such a shame

Parrots can be hard work. We have a Blue and Gold Maccaw too, we are lucky. He is pretty good. We can leave him at home all day and he just makes himself look pretty. Doesn't pull his feathers out or anything.

Good luck in finding her a good home

Mine doesn't

That's mainly our fault I think because we don't really spend enough time with him, but we kind of have a mutual understanding in the house... We know each other exists and it's just better that way PMSL

Ours was living with a female parrot for 2 years from birth/ hatching before we got him, so he had very little human interaction while young which didn't help.

But you are right, excellent pets, this is our 4th Blue and Gold. They all had very different personalities. I would love to look after Lill, but we just haven't got the time

Just a thought...

We have owned many cockatiels (lots of them rescued) over the last 20 years... Some have been hand-reared, some not...

If she is relatively tame, we would love to have her as we have no birds at the mo due to the last one recently dying of old age!!

Good points are that we live in a small village in 6 bed detached and our previous birds (that were tame) were never caged and welcome to roam the house as we have no other animals... My father runs his business from home so provided daytime company for the cockatiels that would just sit on him all day!!

In the evenings, i return from work with my partner!!

If you have problems moving her on, let me know... (you would be welcome to have alook where she would be going!!)

It is important that she is relatively tame though as we do not really like keeping them in cages!!

awwwwwwwwww sorry about that hunny... its like losing a limb when ya lose ya dog!

Dogues are great.. very gentle, dosile, great with kids but that can be very protective too!

there is a dogue rescue society who you can find throught these

http://www.doguedebordeauxclub.co.uk/

the main problems they suffer with are breathing and skin related things... but touch wood... mine has never had any of these!

they really are good dogs to go for!
