Sammy is a Blue and Gold Macaw
He is 3 years old (hatched 10/11/05)
Yes, he does talk.
No, I cannot make him talk on command.
He has approximately a 100 word vocabulary, so far.
He loves people food, he will eat almost anything you give him, although there are things that are harmful to him. He also loves nuts, a variety of seed, and chicken. Yes, chicken.
I do not know if he is male or female. It's impossible to tell, unless you do a DNA test. The test costs about $50, and I'll get it done one of these days. My money is on female.
Blue and Gold macaws generally cost about $1,500, but there are many more expenses, including cage, feed, vet bills, grooming, etc. Don't try to steal him, as you might get shot as you come through the door or window.
If he remains healthy, he will live about 70 years.
Yes, he does curse.
No, I will not put him on my head.
