About This Bird

Buddy (Blue and Gold macaw) and McCoy (Green Wing Macaw) are a pair of Macaws that came to us in 2016 from the World Parrot Refuge. Buddy is a complete sweetheart and can befriend almost anybody instantly. She quickly turns any wood or paper toys into kindling and she is always up for an adventure on the floor to find more things to destroy. McCoy is pickier with his choice of people, but with those he deems worthy he is just as sweet as Buddy is. His wing was unfortunately pinioned at some point in his past and he is missing all of his toes on one of his feet so he is somewhat unstable and benefits from wider, flat perches so he doesn’t fall. Together they are an interesting pair and while it is clear they do love each other, they require some alone time to discourage their squabbles and to give Buddy a break from McCoy’s rather overbearing, protective behaviour.
