BH> It was good to talk to you. Call back if you need to.
 I will. 
BH> Good luck with both the big guys. I know they can get
BH> aggressive and testy. My
 Some improvement lately, he has taken to more petting. We started using a 
water bottle to shoot him if helnged at someone (small stream spray) and it 
seems to have worked. I hate to see him go but that may EVENTUALLY happen.
BH> macaw kids are getting to that nippy phase. At 7 and 5 mos,
BH> and with six of them, the flock can be a real pain.
 I can imagine !!!
BH> Seriously! They are grabbing everything with their beaks and
BH> pinching a bit. Just an oral phase I think. They seem to do
BH> it less when they are taken out singly or when the whole
BH> flock is not present at once. Pistol, my B&G girl can still
BH> be devillish or cuddly and Piper her brother is still
BH> mischievious. Then there are the four Miligolds. What
BH> stinkers. Ed is really trying to wean them all. I am too
BH> soft and would feed them forever, convinced they would just
BH> starve if they weren't fed. So far so good on the eating on
BH> their own,but I'm kinda worried about them with this sudden
BH> cold snap. In the 30's tonight. Was about 70-something just
BH> yesterday afternoon. I am hoping the cold will get the
BH> Macaws all breeding soon. The Red bellied Macaws are at
BH> least in their box; it's a start.
 Gotta start somewhere. We trimmed Rowdies claws back the other night with a 
fingernail file, unhappy bird.  He did fine afterwards, it just scared 
m.
BH> both macaws.Oh, and how is your wife's hand where he bit
BH> her? My Yellow Nape hen bit my fiance tonight when we were
BH> both playing with her. She actually drew blood. She has not
BH> done that before. She was playing under our blanket and we
BH> were tickling her. She would tickle me and nip him a little
BH> harder. Then she bit him. I said maybe she thought he was
BH> getting between us or something. She is definitely a woman's
BH> bird. I haven't had her long. But she's a great bird.
 Interesting. Her arm is healing... left a decent hole in there. She has not 
learned, she will still stick the arm right up to him, I know better. 
BH> Have you thought about an amazon? I like them a lot. I just
BH> heard report on the three baby bluefront amazons that I
BH> raised and sold this summer. The lady has sold all but one
BH> and it is already talking. She said it is very sweet but
BH> indepedent and they were all stubborn. They are nice though.
 I have heard they get un-nice later in life, similar to Scarlets.
BH> Not like my Lesser Sulphur "Too, Deedee. She is too hyper
BH> and must have every iota of attention.If not she will bite
BH> you or tear up something.
BH> Amazons can be real buddies.
 We have put some thought into replacing Buster with a cocatoo, (spelling, 
that does not look right). Any comments ??
