My military macaw, Maynard, passed away today just prior to 2 PM PDT. He was with me for 37 years. He was a wild caught bird and during our time together he incurred his share of problems. My poor green friend should have never been removed from his natural habitat. Maynard suffered a debilitating stroke in 2011 and developed a seizure disorder toward the end of 2016. His life from that point forward must have seemed like hell from his standpoint. Near the final weeks of his life his uncontrollable movements became horrifically severe, dominating every moment. He passed away peacefully this afternoon.
