Catalina macaw "ChewChew" at Zombie Bike ride on Oct, 20, 2024. She has attended Zombie Bike Ride every year since It began in 2010, She used to ride on a bicycle with Jerry Kemler when he lived here. She is perfect for the event; she shows no fear of crowds, crazy human energy or noise and is our only parrot who enjoys staying out after dark.

Choo Choo likes to drink beverages from a handheld bowl, she likes freshly made juices, teas and fresh coconut water. She works for shelled pinenuts as a treat when I train her. She does not like any touching on her head or neck, she is very sweet and smart. She does not like cuddles. When she steps on to an arm she reaches down to grab a hold of the arm with her beak to steady herself as she steps up. This is not an aggressive behavior even though the pinch may feel a little uncomfortable as she makes the move to step up on arm. This move is usual for her it does not damage the skin or draw. It is a gesture that provides her a steady perch to transport to. She is stick trained.
