Introducing...

This is my girl, Lili (Liliana)  Isn't she gorgeous?  She's a scarlet

macaw.  They are known to have quite the attitude.  I

was cautioned by multiple people not to get a

scarlet but I was sure I could handle her.

 There are days when I wonder...lol

Macaws are not known for their talking abilities.

She does say a few things, though. "Good girl",

"is that better?"  (That's a cue to scratch her head).

"hello" naturally.  don't they all?! She also

yells "B'Elanna" when the dog starts barking.

'Whatcha doin'?  HUH?"  and "Step up"  She said that
to the vet the first time she
went.  The vet got a big
laugh out of that. One of her

favorite things to do is to hang upside down

on her toys, flap her wings and scream.  She also loves

 the orange and pink toy shown here.  It's a foraging toy so

it comes apart in the center.  she puts the pink

part on her head and puts her beak inside the

orange bottom and makes noises.  She likes

the different sound it makes.She's a lot of fun to

watch and cheers me up when I'm feeling kind 

of sad.  Who can help but smile at an upside

down parrot screaming in fun?!  Well, maybe

some, but I'm used to the noise.
And for any of you eagle eyes out there,
yes, those are pez dispensers.  I have
about 800 of them.
