Journey - Male Macaw (Tampa, FL)

Journey - Male Macaw

Hi. My name is Journey and I am an approximately 15 yr old blue and gold macaw. They call me a boy but the doctor hasn t confirmed it. My foster mom gave me this name because I didn t have a name prior to coming here. I also never came out of my cage. Don t worry though life isn t too shabby nowadays. I try to talk and am learning that being vocal isn t a bad thing but a way of expressing myself. I eat healthy nuts and am in the final stages of a full conversion from seed to pelleted diet. I am still a little uneasy with interacting with people but as you can see by my photos my foster mom is working on it because the world is a big and scary place outside of my cage I am also learning how to play with toys because I love shredding newspaper on the bottom of my cage My foster mom bought me a shred ball and I love it I am OK with dogs being around - I am curious of them. I seem to like my foster mom over my foster dad but only by a little. I am working on being handled by humans as they haven t really interacted with me that much in my life but I get lots of almonds and fruit for doing it so I am learning to gently take it from hands while in my cage because my cage is my safe place. I am pretty quiet for a macaw but come near my house and I will scream to let my family know No need for an industrial alarm here I am not the bird for someone who doesn t have big parrot experience as I have not been interacted with a lot until recently. With patience and love my foster mom already sees the great potential I have bottled up inside...I m just scared.
