Update:
Beautiful 5-1/2 yr old orange Camelot Macaw, Autumn is now married
:-) Autumn and 5-1/2 yr. old orange & yellow Capri Macaw, Liberty,
who were individually parent hatched just 1 week apart in July of
2003, have consummated their relationship over the past couple months.
Liberty loves working the the nest box, and happily services Autumn
whenever she raises her tail for him. Will they produce? Autumn may
have recently matured, but Liberty could still be a little young yet,
as he is a male. Besides, they are both multiple generation Catalina
hybrids, and not all of this hybrid combination inherit the right
chromosome mix to effectively produce fertile eggs and/or live offspring.
Only time will tell. If nothing else, they sure love each others company.
They are family members, and that's all that really matters. Both
sets of parents reside here.
