Your sweet notes to Rainbow and his lucky Mom (me) have all been a delight to read. Thank you for taking the time to express your thoughts and best wishes. This giant bird (a cross between a Blue & Gold macaw and a Greenwing Macaw) is a circus of excitement each and every minute of the day. I can NOT imagine how boring my life would actually be were he not in it. It's been my privilege to have him as part of the family. What a blessing, big beak and all. (And for those of you who wonder what a beak that size feels like when it forgets its power, pinch yourself with a pair of pliers then pinch the same spot again. That's almost close.) Sadly, the way he says "Hello?" after a rare pinch gets him forgiven probably before he should be!

Again, thank you for your comments, compliments and encouragement.
