Introducing Skipper, My New Yellow Collared Macaw!

Friday August 10, 2007
Last night, the newest addition to my flock made his debut -- Skipper the Yellow Collared Macaw! Skipper is a one year old DNA sexed male and seems to be quite happy here in his new home. His favorite treats so far are bananas and blueberries, and his vocabulary as of now consists of about 6 words. He is getting along famously with Loco and Oliver, and seems to have no problem sharing toys and perch space with his new "brothers". I am proud to welcome Skipper into my home and I look forward to sharing more of him with you in the weeks and months to come.

Congratulations!
We also have one. Frazier is 20-25 years old. You will love their personalities. And you will enjoy watching their “yellow collar” expand as they get older.
Keep us updated on his transition!
