Macaws from 2002. We are very proud of these babies as their mother was hand-raised by us several years ago. She laid three eggs in her very first clutch and all three babies hatched and are weaning now. We feed our baby Green-Wings like our baby Hyacinths, thus they are very large. Too little fat in their formula would have caused stunting. |
