Hi enjoyed your article on scarlet macaws. I have owned one now for about 6 months and I love her to death. I have all birds all my life but she if my favorite. So funny and so playful and has the sweetest little childs voice I have ever heard in a bird. I dont thiink there is no better bird than a scarlet. A friend of mine raises macaws and she told me they can be difficult and nippy. she has been neither for me but just a total joy. she also is super quiet never screams so i am very lucky I got a great one. She is 4 years old and a female but have a good day enjoyed your post! bye
