-> -> Purely MYTH. Had you not been told this you would have been much d
-> -> in interaction, but with knowledge of it, you now think the bird w
-> -> attack and you're uneasy. The bird knows it.
->
-> RF> Very untrue Dennis.. i a the least bit afraid of the bird i will
-> RF> in and get it. it has boinded to a woman and does noit like men..
-> RF> man walks by its cage it growls at him..She is starting to come a
-> RF> little i had her  out last night Tues. and she was not as bad but

-> I think that I have to say that you do not have to be afraid of a

-> I worked in a pet shop that had a Military Macaw. This bird did not
-> like women. I managed to get the bird to feel comfortable with
-> me...but only when we were alone. If a man walked into the room I
-> would ask the man to leave until I could get the bird back into its
-> cage. This same bird was being admired by a couple. The husband got
-> a little to close to his wife and the bird grabbed hold of that
-> woman's forearm and bit down. Needless to say, it did some damage.

-> Fran
This bird here as bit me but when it grabs you it relizes it is biting
the hand that feeds it i guess.. and backs off although it has only done
this 2 or 3 times.. the thing is she will talk to my wife all day long
when i walk in the room she does not say a thing  but she is coming
around i think that she will make a greast pet.. if not i will get a
male and see if i can make her a ood breeder !!
