2 McCaws and one BIG dog!
Our homeschooling group visited a couple that have cared for two beautiful macaws for over 20 years. As they say, they are an integral part of their family.
The parrots were shy, and didn't want to do many of their learned tricks while they were in so much company (10 little children and several moms). But, we are told that anytime they hear the phone ring, they say, "hello." At 5:00 pm they want to watch the news with thier family and squawk relentlessly until they are let out of their cage (When they squawked, the sound was practically deafening. Justin held his hands over his ears most of the time we were there). They also know how to whisper! They were very big, with brilliant colors. It was especially fun to see the Macaws, as we are currently reading Dr. Dolittle, and Dr. Dolittle's trusty guide is a clever Macaw.
We only anticipated observing the parrots, but then they brought in their dog, Benny--the BIGGEST dog I have ever seen. To be licked by this dog, was to take a bath. I kept my distance somewhat, and the kids LOVED him!
