My uncle, Kenneth Paige, and my Aunt Cathy Paige (former owners of KatBird Crafts) had a parrot when I was growing up, and I absolutely loved that bird! I still ask about “Tweety” anytime that I speak to them. I’ve wanted one since I was a kid! I did some research on large Macaws and was thinking of getting one of four types: Scarlet Macaw, GreenWing Macaw, Catalina Macaw, or Blue and Gold.
