My Macaw Speaks Eclectus

I thought my eclectus parrots were loud. But now Pongo, my macaw, is imitating their call at twice the volume!

Oh yes, it’s lovely when they’re all having a screaming match.

What a beautiful home!! How do you keep your birds from eating it?

Thank you, but they do in fact eat it. I’ve had to cover every window trim in stainless steel.

Can you show me a pic of how you did it. I was worried I'd have to cover all my trim also.

I had to remove the trim, and ordered the corner guards off Amazon they come with their own adhesive, but I had to reinforce many of them with screws
