    So what's the story on the other macaw that comes to visit? Are there many wild macaws living in your area? Is the visiting macaw also a green-wing?

    Likewise. We love you, your wife and Robert - and we love hearing about him. We're so glad he's home!
    He lived with us at the new location for around 5 or 6 months.

    Over the years many macaws have escaped forming several feral populations. They even pass down speech to their offspring. So it's not uncommon to hear a group flying by screaming "shut up"!
    Many wild Macaws also make the journey from nearby rain forests to other rain forests. But our population here is about 1800 blue and gold & 300 green wing. Both feral (mostly) and immigrants.

    Yes the visitor is a Green Wing Macaw as well.

    He wants to cuddle all the time but he seems a little different. But I have no fear of him being a totally different bird. After all he found his way home.

    Casper, a blue fronted Amazon. Loves banana. Hates plastic bags and red coats.
    It might be worth getting him microchipped. Horror of horrors would be if the other people have already done that.
    Do you think Robert and the visiting greenwing are an "item" as we call it here

    I wonder as well. That's why I invited the stranger to stay. Don't mind having them both. Time will tell. We have enough love for 2
    There is currently no way to microchip birds here.
