I’ve had my Harlequin Macaw, Judge, for 12 years now. In fact we bought him before he was even born, when he was still nestled inside his egg. He came out looking much like a little bald turkey. We hand fed him and watched him grow into a magnificent creature. He would waddle along behind us at home as a baby wanting to get into whatever we were getting into. So he grew up accustomed to the dogs in our house, learning each one by name.
