Default Anyone ever seen....

Has anyone here ever seen a Buffons Macaw! I just did! I cuddled it, and kissed its cheek. What a huge bird and still a baby, fully feathered but not yet perching. He had that beautiful red patch like a Military with a crazy cheek blush going on, and cartoon eyes. his back was like a lime green going to an iridescent blue. I was so smitten I didnt even look at the price. I kept calling John to come see but he stood at the counter and ignored me like I wasnt even his wife! Ill have pics next week but I think someone else here may have them sooner!

We have two Buffon macaws, one male and one female. They are large birds with great laid back personalities.

I was shocked at the size for a baby! But those eyes made me mush. It really reminded me of a Hy.

Instead of doing curls for my biceps, I lift each of my Buffons! I have attached a link about them.

Macaws are addictive! I have 3! Maybe room for a fourth in a few years.....I love them all. Those buffons are really great looking! Were youat Todd Marcus Birds? I was in there a couple days ago, some really huge gorgeous greenwing babies.
