My Parrot's First Day Home: Our Harlequin Macaw Baby

Описание: A Harlequin Macaw Baby! 🦜
It was a long day, long drive to The Aviary -exotic parrot store in Miami- where we got Kamuela (Kami for short) and a long drive back...🥱

But it was one of THE ☀️ BEST DAYS, Ever!
This beautiful, handsome and sweet seven week-old old parrot is a gem!


🦜What Is A Harlequin Macaws

Harlequin Macaws are a cross between a Greenwing Macaw and a Blue & Gold Macaw -- and both these parrots are said to have great personalities and make great companions.


🐣 BEAK This!

We have added a new member to the family! This Macaw could outlive me or maybe we'll spend the next 50 years together! It is special to be a part of his young life. He still has the 🥄 spoon-shaped lower mandible which baby parrots have for catching food more easily when being fed. As he grows over the next months, his beak will bring itself in, matching the top beak.

He still shows his down feathers (light grey) and has several pin feathers (which look like 🦔porcupine quills) sprouting! He'll never look like this again. Once he is fully-feathered, he will molt feathers once or twice a year, but like our hair that is constantly being replaced, his feather growth won't show 'bald' spots. It will be unnoticeable, with new pin feathers sprouting through.

Personality: Harlequin Macaws are said to have the mellow, relaxed personality of a Greenwing Macaw and the fun-loving side of a Blue & Gold Macaw, their parents. They are button fanatics, so button-ups beware! You will be hunted down for fun, pulled and -- killed!
