WOW!! That Macaw is a baby and soooo cute <3.
Our Amazon is about 15 now. We think he was caught in the wild. He isn't banded. We got him from an older woman who couldn't take care of him due to her age. We think someone was afraid of getting caught with him because he isn't banded so she took him him.

She left him in the dark basement and only went down once a week to change his food and water. She kept another bird on top of him as well so he has some weird behaviors. He hates people lol. My dad is the only one who can touch him. He's gotten me good a couple times. He charges my sister! He doesn't try to snap at my mom if she has just cooked but if she hasn't, he wants nothing to do with her. Maybe he hates women because of the lady we rescued him from.

Near stitches a few times but I'll keep trying to coax him to trust me. Gotta build that trust some how!
