2011年2月8日 · Macaws are more likely to sit with you and watch a movie. Rolling over on their back and getting pit rubs.

Baby vs Adult - Avian Avenue Parrot Forum
2017年9月24日 · My female hyacinth has only changed in good ways since I got her. She was 7 months old when I brought her home. She is 12 now.
