But there aren't ANY yellow feathers, which there probably should be if it was a scarlet, right?
And I can se a whole lot of green wing feathers too, which I'm not sure is so scarletty either, i dunno.
Only thing I can think of that fits perfectly to me is a Ruby macaw, a greenwing/scarlet hybrid. :mrgreen: Just a guess, but could be a Greenwing too of course.

I'm going with your guesses of greenwing too! How exciting! When did you decide to get a macaw, Michael? I did a search and I didn't find another post on your blog about it. (But maybe I missed something.) I'd really like to read about how you chose this bird. I'm still researching what bird I'd like to get when I am in the position to take care of one, so I enjoy reading about how other people decide. ;)

Hey Michael,
Congrats on the new Macaw, appears to be a Green Wing, he/she is very beautiful. Any ideas on what you are going to name him/her? Also wanted to mention that I am almost midway through your new book. Really amazing so far, I like the detailed way of explaining all the steps and breaking it down simple. I have read many of the books out there, really is one of the best I've come across so far. Keep up the good work and anxiously awaiting your blogs on the progress of your new Macaw.

I picked up the Black & Decker. I can't be happier. Lots of power and long battery life.

Awsome Post Micheal.

I got the shark steam cleaner today and couldn't be happier, after washing the cage, the amount of first still on there is incredible. This is by far THE BEST investment in cleaning plus it disinfects!!

i cant even tell you how much more comfortable i am knowing my little sennie is less exposed to harmfull bacteria!

thanks!

My best cleaning device is this:
iRobot Roomba 780
http://www.amazon.co.uk/iRobot-Roomba-V ... roomba+780

A robot vacuum cleaner which cleans our appartment three times a week on a schedule while we are at work. The results are great (I found it hard to believe that they were effective before getting one, but its better than me at vacuuming :)).

This has really helped with my dust allergies =), and it keeps downs, seeds, chewed wood etc to a minimum.

The only downside is that its quite an investment, but I was starting to look at hiring cleaning help (as I want my house clean, but dont enjoy cleaning) and that would be a lot more ^^.

EDIT:
Actually it cleans all rooms except the parrot room, which I still clean myself with a standard vacuum cleaner and a bucket with a mop while the birds are out flying in the rest of the appartment, as they dont really like the sound of a vacuumer ^^.

My guess is that it's a Ruby Macaw (Greenwing - Scarlet Hybrid), they have the colors of the scarlet, but also have green, and the gentleness of a greenwing.
