Oliver, blue and gold macaw Stewarts new brother

[murfchck]

Feather-in update is in the new macaw section..... It is official, i am an idiot!

Oh, he loves me, he really really loves me! A while ago i spoke about his throwing up, well i was corrected and he is regurgitating. He usually just does it when i am around but it has progressed to when i am holding or playing with him. He will hold his foot and pump his head till it comes up! A few days ago, he was on my chair and was trying hard to get in my mouth, i wouldn't play that game so i cupped my hand, he still wanted my mouth so i put him on his stand to forget. Lol Yesterday he accepted my hand, grossed my hubby out but oh well, he is just jealous, haha! I agree with Nancy that this is a natural act for them so i will not discourage it. It is how he is showing me love and i wouldn't hurt his feeling for anything! Pat is very worried about the new guy coming and how his affection with me could lead to agression with bubba, i guess we will have to just see and deal with it if and when i happens!

Glad he loves you but best to distract him and not encourage the out of species love it can lead to some pretty unhappy endings.

How so? I don't encourage him but if he does it, i am not stopping him. I kinda feel i would hurt him if i turned the other way. When i spoke to the vet about it, he just laughed and said that he loves me.
