While we were up there, he also spent some time playing with the macaws. As I've mentioned before, he is half macaw. I don't think I've met a macaw that hasn't liked him. Macaws tend to be more hands-on than most parrots, which Thomas loves.
He was meeting this blue and gold macaw for the first time. She was a police confiscation, so we don't know much about her background, but she is very aggressive. Of course, she was putty in Thomas's hands.
I just love it when macaws fold their hands together like this when they're on their backs. Thomas has tried to get Rocky to do this, but he's not interested.
Isn't she just gorgeous?

She's adorable!
Do you ever read Birdtricks.com? They have great pictures. You might enjoy the last picture in this post (http://www.birdtricks.com/blog/the-5-biggest-parrot-training-myths/). The macaw is balanced on his owner's head!
She is so cute, but is a handful and needs an experienced owner! Thomas kept saying, "How are you a baby still? Babies are supposed to be sweet!" It was cracking me up.
I'll have to check out that site -- thanks for the link.
