Ralph

April 2026: Check out this feature interview with me and my foster mom Jamie!

Hi, I`m Ralph, a magnificent Blue and Gold Macaw. I was living outside in a backyard and was attacked by a raccoon, but the nice folks at Mickaboo took me to the vet and now I`m doing better and living happily indoors with my foster family.

I`m about 17 years old and quite the chatterbox. My foster mom says I have a sweet, friendly, and BIG personality. I am happy to step up and hang out on my foster mom`s arm while she grades her students` papers, and love to dance, play with toys on my play stand, and sing along with my human and parrot friends.

Before coming to Mickaboo, I used to eat a lot of peanuts. Now I`m enjoying a healthy diet of pellets and a wide variety of vegetables and fruit, including Brussel sprouts, kale, carrots, corn, snap peas, apples, berries, oranges, mango, papaya. . . and I even eat my broccoli now!

When I lived in a backyard, I figured out how to break out of my cage and this is probably how I ended up in the jaws of a raccoon. In my new home I spend a lot of supervised time out of my cage, however when my foster mom isn`t around I was still thinking of ways to open the doors of my new cage. She has since figured out all my tricks, and now I use my big brain to open foraging toys instead for the yummy food hidden inside. Perhaps you are looking for a fun-loving, sweet-natured, smart boy like me?
