Merlin - Male Macaw (Denver, CO)

Merlin - Male Macaw

Merlin came into TGF in 2008 when his owner s home burned and she could no longer keep him. Big robust and in beautiful feather Merlin has always been an outgoing and social macaw. Merlin was adopted out in 2009 and formed a new best friend with Disney a female Catalina macaw that had been with the adopter for several years. Merlin and Disney soon became inseparable and along with their caregiver lived on a beautiful mountain property an a remote canyon outside of Boulder. Then in 2010 fire struck and Merlin and Disney along with their caregiver were evacuated. Their home was destroyed but birds dogs and humans were safe. Merlin and Disney remained in TGF s care for a couple of years before their caregiver found a new home again in the mountains. Life was good until 2012 when another devastating fire struck the mountain they called home. This time not everyone was so lucky. Merlin and Disney were evacuated to safety but their caregiver suffered respiratory burns and severe health impacts. Merlin and Disney remained safely in TGF s care. Due to their owner s declining health both birds were relinquished to TGF. Now that they have been living together for several years separating them from each other would be cruel. Both birds are good with people and dogs. They re used to spending time outdoors in an outside flight and don t need a lot of petting and touching from their humans. Hanging out with friends and family is their favorite thing to do. Outgoing and social this pair is in need of a home to call their own permanently.
