Blue-and-Gold Macaw

Meet

Cooper

He likes music a lot, hip-hop of anything that follows a standard beat. He will sway his head to the music and pick his legs up. He'll shake his head back and forth as well, regardless if there is music or not.

As most birds do he loves to talk with people and its easy to carry a conversation with him even if he isn't saying much but rather mumbling.

He enjoys the outdoors during the summer. If there are people walking by, he will say hello and will talk with them if they talk back.

When he scratches himself he will start mumbling gibberish or if you scratch him around the eyes/ears/head he'll do the same thing.

He likes to dangle off things whether that be his cage toys or on the branches outside.

When he hears a phone ringing he will say hello after the ringing stops.
