Thanks Maddy, it will be unusual/unique to have one of these in my flock. They are on the Cites list as endangered in their native land of Bolivia. And they have been put on the list here in the US under the law that prevents them from being sold across state lines. They can only be sold or transferred to someone in the state they were hatched in. The theory behind this is to preserve the wild populations which are very few kite estimated to be a few hundred. But breeding programs here don't help the birds in South America since their country of origin does not allow captive bred birds to be brought in and released. Therefore the breeders in the states have very limited potential buyers and breeding of them is beginning to present more Hassel than some feel it's worth.
I did read that a person who has acquired one legally is not restricted from traveling within the US with their birds. The breeder Wendy said she often travels with several to Wyoming and Colorado and free Flys them. I would love to see a group of macaws or any parrots in a flock flying free over the firs & Spruce in the fresh clean mountain air of the Rockies!

Thanks Wendy, you knew I'd be hard pressed to turn down a darling like that. Oh and when I tell the dogs they have to find something else to lounge on and they chew my leg off~~well you just remember the kerplunk kerplunk sound I'm making as I peg leg myself around the forum.
I am pretty excited a Geez it will be a spell before Sugar gets home.

Audrey told me about this beautiful Blue Throated Macaw in Texas and sent me pics of him. I just knew this adorable baby was destined for a home with De! I am so happy that he is going to De'Andrea's wonderful home to join the rest of her flock
