I hope your bird overcomes it's fear.

Years ago in my local pub a drunk told me he had a macaw at home he wanted rid of.I was to say the least surprised and doubtful but anyway called round and was shown into a dark garden shed.
This poor bird was in there on it's own and shrieked with fear when I entered.It was a yellow collared macaw of unknown age.

I took it home and gave it a cage in a quiet part of the lounge.I tried for months to get this bird to accept me...but when approached it screamed and panicked.
It would chatter to itself and I would talk to it quietly from the other side of the room.But no way could it be approached or fed without it crashing round the cage in fear.
It really upset me that I was unable to get through to this bird but it proved impossible...after 9 months I found a home for it in an aviary with others of it's own kind in a sanctuary.

It's horrible the way some of these birds are treated most of their very long lives, often with multiple owners.
I would advise anyone offerered a bird like this to try to find a sanctuary for the bird in the first place...some are just never happy in our company and are best in aviary surroundings.
