This Harlequin macaw is a young that came from a pair that I own and was hand raised. (The Mother is a Greenwing with the Father being a blue n gold. So if you know your macaws you know that a greenwing is the second largest macaw and the blue n gold is the fourth largest. The blue n gold male that I have is larger than any greenwing that I own. My vet calls him husky. The babies have been known to be really large compared to other harlequins.) This bird looks amazing, The feathers look wonderful all nice an tight to the body. He's pretty big now for his age. Him and his sister has been to the vet, once at 3 weeks of age when I first started hand feeding and 3 other times just as a follow up and for blood-work. They are negative on all the test that she ran. Also the vet was amazed on how fast he was growing and the amount of weight he was putting on at every visit. All of the staff there loved the babies and also couldn't believe on the weight that was put on. The harlequin babies that I've raised from this pair for years have all been the absolute sweetest birds. So if you're looking for a laid back and affectionate large bird then this is the bird for you. This bird is also a good starter bird for someone that's never handled a large bird before. The bird here, sorry I didn't have more pictures. I'll post more later, He is so so sweet. He gets excited when you walk in the room and can't wait to get out of his flight cage to come to you. He's doing really well with step up. Has never ever biting me, no aggression at all. One of the things that I love so much in this bird is you can put him in your arms, holding him up to your chest right under your chin and just start kissing/hugging him, he loves it and will let you do that for a long time. He's off to a wonderful start with all of his affection making bonding with someone so much more easier. They're good talkers, friendly, calm demeanor, strikingly beautiful markings, and have a rather amusing personalities. Can be referred as to being a joker or clown, which perfectly reflects it's personality. Just like this picture he's hanging upside down swinging/playing. So cute. The one thing that's different in color over his sister is he has red on the front of his head as the female in the back of the picture does not. He's all weaned and totally ready for a loving, caring, forever home. Someone that will give him the time he thrives for and not cooped up in a cage. He'll hang out on a large tree stand as well.
