    Maybe it's determined by which shoulder is closest to the pirate's upper prosthesis (e.g., peg-arm extension w/ or w/o hook) to best serve that whim-carving lust parrots tend to be afflicted with? "Oops, Captain... there went your hook!"
    He wanted to live. He was my Heaven... He's gone!

    Hi Celia,
    What a beautiful and heartwarming story indeed! How awesome for all of you to have Max in your home. So now you have two beautiful Mac's. Is Katie as friendly with everyone as well. Looking forward to many happy stories about your flock!

    How did you know?!

    I had to dress as a Pirate for Halloween and had Katie on my shoulder when I answered the door (too dark and cold to take her outside) and kids got a kick out of that! I’m curious on what shoulder is the official pirate parrot one! Haha

    Max is just now becoming a shoulder bird, just not with me He prefers dad which is preferred since I’m Katie’s perch

    Aww thank you!!! It’s quite weird having two Macs, was never in the plans!! But we couldn’t stand seeing Max without a home any longer!

    Katie loves people, all people- and is super exited and interactive BUT she does not allow them to handle her! I’m her preferred person but my husband and 12 year old son are the only ones, other than me, she’ll allow to handle her.

    Good point!!!

    I would propose that the parrot needs to be perched on the non-dominant sholder in case of an impromptu sword play
