Blue and Gold Macaws

Blue and golds are good-natured birds and can be gifted talkers. They are also very smart. Our Poncho keeps us in stitches with the things he says. If he's in a good mood, he'll sing, dance and say his food is "mmmm, good". On the other hand, if he's in a bad mood, he will sternly tell the dogs, "go lay down" and call himself a "bad bird".
