Michael is an easy bird and is very good about staying on his cage or a station. He has some arthritis but it does not stop him from moving around his cage and his playstand. He says hello and makes other cute macaw noises. He loves leather toys from the Leather Elves, and he also loves foraging toys. He will step up to an arm, step up stick, or transfer to his playstand on wheels to be moved. He does great going places in his carrier and has enjoyed going to new places. Michael really likes being a part of the family in our main living room and tends to eat when we are eating and perch near us when we are watching tv. He loves head scratches and doing his big wings trick
