Meet Mya, a teenage female blue and gold macaw. Poor Mya has lived in several different car dealerships for her entire life until being surrendered to us. That means she's not had a stable, predictible life. Parrots love routine and knowing what's going to happen next. They love interacting and bonding with their flock and not having many unknown people coming up to them, trying to touch them or make them speak.
As you can see, Mya directed her frustration with his previous life into feather destructive behaviors. We've got her on a good diet and she's got tons of toys to play with and destroy, so we're hopeful that we can turn her life around.
In this picture, she's in the process of getting her head scratched -- notice how she's lifted her head feathers to give fingers easier access.
We're so happy that she now has an opportunity for a better, more routine life. She's a very sweet girl who will make a great companion to the right person.
