| Ohhhh, he's beautiful!! I love 'too's, I just don't think I could maintain one. I snuggle with them whenever I can though, and get the biggest kick out of seeing them hanging from the rafters of a cage and screaming their scream that sounds so much like a wild monkey scream (to me)! Lol
I can't WAIT for video! Congratulations!!! | |

| its not an exciting story...lol...i found the ad on the internet...the lady liked my response and thought i would be a good home for her moluccan, so she sold me the bird for half price with two cages in the deal...we brought him home and he was very nervous...i held him while my sons brought in his cage...he was shaking...as soon as i set him on top of the cage he kind of snapped and went into all the acrobatic spins...i guess he knew he was home...he has been great ever since...i spent the rest of the afternoon and evening playing with him...he loves everyone and wants to cuddle...he talks very well...this is one of my dream birds...i thought i had one before but it turned out to be the goffin that i still have (wifes bird) he hates men...lol

| I am so happy for you and Mango, he is stunning! I love hanging out with all the toos at the bird stores I go to, I love the crazy antics they come up with! When my kids are a lot older, I'd love to adopt an older too. |

Hannah - You don't like cockatoo beaks but you can handle macaws? That's the exact opposite of me, haha. I think its because macaws bruise more rather than slice!(At least I like to think so. haha) I dont know. But I do want a cockatoo one day. | |

| we had our second outing today...a trip to the pet shop where the girls all made a fuss over him and then to the donut shop (drive-thru)...then we went to the park and sat on a picnic table...mango was great in the jeep staying on my shoulder and not rambling about...he just looked out the window...we were gone almost 2 hours and he didn't poop...as soon as we got home i put him on the play gym and said go potty which he did to my surprise...likely coincidence...not sure a bird can hold it back...all in all a wonderful day for us.
