My name is Ferris. I am a Greenwing Macaw, which is the 2nd largest species of parrot second only to the Hyacinth Macaw. I ended up in a parrot rescue after my original owners could no longer care for me. I have been placed with a foster family now, and I couldn't be happier. They are hoping to adopt me in the near future, so I can be with them forever.
Unfortunately, too many beautiful parrots like me end up in shelters or rescues, or being abused & mistreated, because someone sees a parrot and says "Ooooh, he's so pretty! I want one!"... then, they go buy one without doing ANY research. Big parrots are big responsibility! We can live to be 100 years old, so not only do you have to think about me living with you for the rest of YOUR life, but you also need to make sure that previsions are made in the event that I outlive YOU.
