    It was a pleasure helping you with your journey in purchasing one of my Macaws.

  • Grayson Pettit Rockville, Virginia Jeannette is absolutely amazing. I have more than a couple of Macaws now and have dealt with breeders all over the US and Jeannette is hands down my favorite to deal with. She is really the only breeder I would trust with someone new to parrots. 12/13/2024 4:39:27 PM
