I'm hoping my 13th year will be a very lucky one for me. I'm Frankie, a beautiful blue and gold macaw. Though 13 is young for a macaw, I have been described as a mellow "old soul." I have been with one owner for about 10 years, but she is no longer able to care for me. I've had some recurring problem with my beak, but I'm seeing an avian vet now and seem pretty healthy. There is nothing wrong with my appetite and my foster mom says I will eat anything offered, including pellets. Favorite treats include peanuts and bananas. I have quite a repertoire of words and noises (including some slightly rude sounds), though it may take you a while to figure out all of my vocabulary. I definitely can say "where you goin'?," "hello,Frankie," and the "wooooo" sound accompanied by swaying my head from side to side. For a while I lived with my human "grandma," so I learned to ask "Where's grammy?" We big macaws can be amazingly loud, but so far I am fairly quiet, usually calling only when someone leaves the room. When noisy little kids are around, I tend to want to be vocal, too. Maybe that's why I like children! Dogs don't bother me, either. Vacuums, I'm not crazy about. It is possible I may be more friendly with guys, but just because I drop food on my foster mom's head doesn't mean I don't like her?.. She probably summed me up best by saying I'm a love and a character. What more could you ask for in a companion? Story posted on: March 18, 2006 Print this page |
