how exciting! if it is a macaw i advise you, if you can, to go to a friend's house that has a macaw or a rescue just to go hang out with one. so you're not intimidated by him/her when you meet it. i went to my friend's house that had a macaw when i planned on getting a macaw and i'm glad i did. it kinda scared me at first and i learned how to hold it and act around it.
