INTRODUCING OUR PETS

THE PETS OF THIS HOUSE HOLD THAT TOLERATE US HUMANS ARE THE FOLLOWING:


Maxwell our proud young boy is the brother of Katy the MOUTH of the two. She is one bossy puppy dog!

She loves sitting on the Bosses chair and check out his desk. (best not let daddy know she does this.. She likes his recliner also.)





Our Blue and Gold macaws.

They are Ms.C it stands for Colonel Bird. we call her Ms.C. She is a sweetie and very lovable, she loves to pluck herself and looks like she is ready for the cooks pot... Ms.C is 13 years old. We have had Ms.C since she was 3 months old. She was born right here in Ohio. She used to talk a lot until Rico joined our home.. Rico is the mouth piece and doesn't let anyone say anything.

Then there is Rico! She came to us as a second hand bird. That means that she had a previous owner that was terrified of her and let her scream and learn some very nasty habits and words. She has been with us 4 years and has unlearned that one particular word that took us by surprise! She is mom's bird. She lets mom do anything. She bit dad on the lip cause he was making funny faces at her. It cost daddy 9 stitches on his upper lip. Yep, we still have her! Rico is is about 10 years old.
Macaws can live up to 75 years as pets. Mom and dad say they will be handed down to us in their wills. We have to be VERY nice to them, their beaks can break a broom stick with one simple snap!








Aren't our pets beautiful?

They are free flyers. This means that they can fly around our house. Ms.C knows how to fly, Rico has never learned, when she tries she just goes boom right down to floor and walks home to her cage. Ms.C flies to her cage from her perch or from our arms when she wants to.
