Blue and Gold Macaw ~ male ~ 23 years old

 

Quincy is one of our flock ambassadors, which means he helps provide comfort for parrots that have been surrendered, as well as helping educate groups that visit the rescue. He is a stunning macaw with an outgoing personality. He loves to meet new people and say, "Hello! Hi! Wow. Rah-Rah!"

 

FAVORITE PASTIMES:  Quincy loves building nests out of boxes and shredding cardboard and phone books. He also enjoys chewing on wooden furniture, and even though he has plenty of toys, he always finds a way to take a new chomp out of something around the farmhouse. We are looking forward to the day when Quincy can move into the Rescue Center and have more bird-appropriate things to chew on!

 

QUINCY'S STORY: Quincy's last family acquired him from a rescue, so we aren't certain of his past beyond the last two years. He knows some sign language, so one of his previous owners must have taught him. We think he knows how to sign "eat," "drink," "thank you," and "leave/go away." He is terrified of broom handles, so he may have been abused by one in the past. He has a few bad habits like biting, screaming, and demanding human food. We are working on training him so that these behaviors are no longer an issue. Our hope is to have Quincy continue to help us educate the public on avian husbandry, and maybe one day he can be trained to free fly as well.
