Kona is a 2 year old Macaw who has special needs. He has what is called splay leg. He looks like he is doing the splits and can not put his legs down. He can't stand, walk or perch, but don’t tell Kona he can’t do these things because he has never been able to do them, so he doesn’t miss them!
But he is a really good climber. Kona loves toys. He will take a month or so before he will play with new toys, but then he loves them. His favorite type of toys are bells and he loves to make noise by ringing them. When you feed him you have to remember he can’t hold the food with his foot, so you will want to make sure fruit and veggies are cut in to small bite size pieces and you crack nuts for him.
We bathe him in a couple inches of water in the bath tub, he doesn’t like it, but it has to be done a few times a week. Kona is a sweet bird. He will need someone who has time to spend with him. He is friendly with you once he gets to know you.He does say a few words like "Mom," “Hello," and "What." This a wonderful bird, won’t you it find in your heart to give him a forever home where his special needs will be celebrated and appreciated?
