I am sooo happy that she's finally coming home!
This whole Cape things kind of came on a bit quick. I lost my baby Blue and Gold, Summer, to a brain aneurysm at the end of Feb. I was heartbroken. My boyfriend who also loved Summer suggested we get another bird. I started looking into all types of species. He wanted another large macaw and I wasn't sure. I've always been interested in Capes and had recently adopted my first Poi and was in love!
I found a breeder, Maggie Tarleton in Indiana that's in driving distance. I talked to MANY people who have brought home a baby Cape from Maggie and then got in touch with her. I was like 5th on a waiting list for a female. I knew she had 3 babies at the time. She said depending on male to female ratios it can take up to a year to get my baby. I was fine with that.
Needless to say you can imagine my surprise when she got in touch with me in April and asked if I'd be interested in getting a baby now because the people on the list had all passed!!
So that's the story of how Capri got to come home so soon!
She's going to be living in Summer's cage- a double macaw cage. I still call it Summer's cage. I still haven't arranged it for Capri. I've been stalling. I tried to do it in May but ended up crying and avoiding it again. No more avoiding!! Tomorrow is HAS to get done!!
But here's a few pic of Capri, her sister Lola and their brother. Her sister is going to a friend of mine in New York. I'm very happy that I'll be able to keep in touch and compare with Lola
