Aloha Cher, and Fellow Macaw Lovers,
Indigo Blue, of Cherane's magnificent breeding, has
been my feathered Son for over two years, since he
was approximately nine months of age. Shown here
with his adoptive mother, Tanja,
Indigo enjoys many human friends. Sensing the
innocence of children, whom he quickly and most
readily accepts their friendships after his first
"eye to eye contact," this being the way of his
human interview determining the security, or lack,
thereof to a furthering relationship.
Unlike most other macaws I have observed, however,
typical of "Cherane's Flock," children are safe and
secure in the powerful clutches of her gentle giant
Hyacinths, given a bit of maturity,i.e., one year
of age, and adult supervision. I have added the
words, "Adult supervision" to err to caution and
to avoid multitudinous criticism of the dyed in
the wool, disbelieving macaw fancier, advocating
not to allow children near a macaw, however, to
whom the family Doberman, often of a split
personality, is a Cool Child's Companion.
Cherane's kids ARE docile creatures possessing
heart's bigger than their bodies, and unbelievable
mental capacities, with the uncanny ability to reason.
(Again, I present a theorem which may be easily
attacked with tons of literature.) I write this
truism, nonetheless, being of a macaw literate mind,
possessed of greater than Thirty years of personal
experience.
Indigo Blue is the protector of my Seven and Two Year
old daughters. He plays with children of all ages, in
the parks and on the beaches of Hawaii, where we now
live. I do not advocate this freedom, absent
prior training and continued surveillance.
Once you have a Cher-Hy, the best of America's bred
macaws, it is an imperative, to realize that you must
raise and train these children as they have been bred,
WITHOUT DEVIATION, with positive reinforcement, absent
any and all negative treatment.
One must accord the liberal use of time and doting
attention, emphasizing LOVE, as the only means of
communication, to achieve the continuum of education
for Cherane's children of love, as they were bred
with love, food and water from "day one."
If you are wishing to have a macaw in your family,
then bring the best and the most into your home.
Get to know one of Cherane's macaws, each and all
being the best of their breed.
All breeders claim the same affinity and the dearest
of loving affection to and for their stock, some
shedding a tear to be observed by the purchaser on
departure, to then ugh all the way to the bank.
I must write, that "Some other breeders are truly
sincere."
However, I know no other, as Cher, to spend years
of endless sessions with the adoptive parents of
her kids, to insure the well being of the new
family formation.
Name the issue of required advise, and she'll
provide the answer, or conduct the research
required, to accordingly achieve the expertise,
If the issue is new to her, (And such would
be rare), e.g., to name the best Avian vet
in Honolulu.
Thank you, Cher for giving me a love of my life,
One of my children, and my only son, Indigo Blue
Osias.
Fondly,
Richard
