Baby Green Wing macaw refusing formula at 11 weeks old

Chad, that's absolutely amazing news! I am incredibly happy for you and Prince Robert!! Ten months is a very long time to have been apart from him.

I'm curious as to how you learned the other person possessed Prince Robert - my guess is that someone informed you where he was being kept? How near to your home was this location? If my understanding is correct, your wife brought nutritious food and water to him on a daily basis while he was captive at the other home. Is that accurate? And once he escaped from there, did he actually fly to your home? Or did someone report his whereabouts to you?

I apologize for all of the questions. I'm simply hoping to hear more about what happened when you have some time to share additional details. I'm quite overjoyed to learn of your reunion with Prince Robert . And I'm so hoping his health/fitness will fully recover.

Thanks for the great news! Please update us further when you can.

Wow, what a great end to an amazing story.

I am so happy for you. It sure does sound like the place Prince Robert wants to be is with you and your wife.
I hope his health did not deteriorate too much; I am sure you will get him back to normal quickly.

Looking forward to hearing more information and updates.

I’m so happy to hear that he is back with you. I know how much you and your wife love him.

Hooray Hooray so glad he remembered his way home.
Hopefully he has learned his lesson that not everyone is as kind and loving as your family and he will think twice before taking to the skies again.

This is a miracle and a true blessing. Fireworks are truly scary and dangerous even to humans. I can only imagine what the noise and sparks in the sky felt like to him.
Now that he is home and healthy I would think this would be a excellent time to figure out how you can be sure if anything like this should happen again what you can do to prove that he belongs to you and your wife. Another band......with your information, DNA profiling, photos with him and known markings he may have that are his alone....
I've also read about a Parrot Passport which you can read about here as well as download the information. https://www.exoticdirect.co.uk/news/...identification

I too am very very happy for all of you and look forward to seeing some new pics when you find some time.

Excellent information for all of us Alice

Hi guys,
Good morning,

Pictures will be coming soon as he looks a little better. He is being pampered with every food you can imagine.
We had an idea of the area he was but couldn't pinpoint the actual house. But seeing that Robert was well known, many rumours about who had him emerged. People said there was a home that recently got a large red Macaw and they were trying to cut his wings and he won't let them. It's illegal to go to other people's homes and accuse them or stand in their driveway even if they have no fence or gate is open.

He doesn't wanna leave our side.
He came back mumbling all sorts of new things. He sounded a little like a wild macaw.
Every lunchtime another macaw comes and sits on his cage and they mumble together. I invited this stranger inside many times for a treat, but he wouldn't cross the front door.

There was alot of chatter in the neighbourhood within a 10 mile radius about people that recently acquired big red birds. There so much whispering and activity it wrecked our nerves. We hardly slept... Sleep? What's that?
We couldn't confirm whether it was all true or not. We never found the actual location as it's illegal to parade around people's houses or driveways here.
About the food and water... It was all placed in his cage everyday at OUR property. I begged my wife to stop doing that, but so glad she didn't listen. He found his cage and gobbled down his freshly prepared meal and started calling for us before we left for work that morning.

Feel free to ask all you like.
Love you guys for your support.

Wow! That's remarkable. He was away a bit over 9 months and his memory of your love enabled him to find his way back home. And if I remember correctly, you had recently moved and thus hadn't lived where you currently are for very long at all. Is that correct?

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?

Love you guys for your support.

Likewise. We love you, your wife and Robert - and we love hearing about him. We're so glad he's home!

What an awesome story! I can't wait to see some pics of Robert. Is he as tame as he was before? Maybe his new friend is responding to Robert's new noises.
