Charlie & Sam

After 4 yrs. my Gold & Blue Macaw recently passed away after a neighbor's dog ran into my dad's house and started attacking his older Chihuahua/Toy Fox Terrier, when my 7 yr. old neice was opening the door to let him out. My B&G Macaw; Gidget being the brave knight that he is, attacked the dog, and did quite a bit of damage on the dog, but not after suffering a few blows himself. After my dad was able to get the big dog to let go of his dog and get him out of the house, he rushed both his dog and Gidget to the vet. Gidget didnt make the 10 minute drive unfortunately.<br>Now... This bird... I've had him since he was 5 wks. and he went -everywhere- with me. He would go horseback riding with me, he would go to the store, he was -always- with me to say the very least... And he LOVED to sleep with me and was always a pillow hog! I had left him with my dad on my last visit down to Michigan almost a year ago. My dad always told me that when I turned 18 and moved outta my ma's house, that I was to take all my animals with me. This included Gidget my Blue and Gold Macaw, Chico my ex. ferril cat who we caught when he was 2 yrs. old and domesticated him and had for 4 yrs. BEST cat that I've ever had btw, who recently passed away on July 4th from some sort of bladder infection I think. Forgot the details :S And my 2 house rabbits; Samantha a 5 yr. old Netherland Dwarf and Anabelle a 2 yr. old Red Satin. He however... Will NOT let me take any of my animals, cause he falls in-love with them... I dont mind, because he really needs them more than I do. But anyway... Lets get to the point...<br><br>I picked up two Macaws the otherday... (7.24.10) A Blue & Gold Macaw and a Scarlet Macaw. The Blue & Gold is a female named Charlie. She is 6 yrs. old. Then there's Sam, who is a large Scarlet Macaw and is 10 yrs. old. They come from the same domestic violence type house. The owners would yell at eachother, cuss, etc. SO needless to say... Charlie swears like a sailor, and will -definitely- put one to shame! Her vocabulary and personality will hopefully be changed with my calm environment, no potty mouth home.<br><br><br>Right now, they're in a large wire dog kennel. They wont let me put them in their large cage, so they're staying in that. The bottom isnt messy... It's just paper that they tore up.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Charlie:</span><br><a href="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dodgersuperman/100_0491.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss15 ... 0_0491.jpg</a><br><a href="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dodgersuperman/100_0494.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss15 ... 0_0494.jpg</a><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Sam:</span><br><a href="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dodgersuperman/100_0493.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss15 ... 0_0493.jpg</a><br><a href="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dodgersuperman/100_0492.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss15 ... 0_0492.jpg</a><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Both:</span><br><a href="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dodgersuperman/100_0490.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss15 ... 0_0490.jpg</a><br><a href="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dodgersuperman/2010-07-23T23-46-21.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss15 ... -46-21.jpg</a><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">I Love You! - Video:</span> Charlie swears like a sailor. But when she wants something... She's your best friend!<br><a href="http://s571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dodgersuperman/?action=view¤t=100_0511.mp4"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://s571.photobucket.com/albums/ss15 ... 0_0511.mp4</a><br><br>Will get better pics later. But the lighting was bad. Sun hasnt been out in a few days, so until then... The pics will still be bad. But this is the general idea
