An Update on Zoom! (Patreon)

I wanted to give you all an update on how Zoom is doing with his new human mom, Laurie! Laurie's is a freeflight student of ours who graduated our course with her green wing macaw, Jewels but always wanted a blue throated macaw. I adopted Zoom out to her and she has been working with him ever since.

For those that remember, Zoom had funky feet. They are short, fat and stocky and many times his back toes go in front as though he has little control of them. The vet said it looks to be a like a little foot deformity going on - and we are unsure the cause or if it happened later in his life under his previous care or has always been that way.

Due to this though, he is very off balance a lot of the time and falls or slips a lot and tends to be hard on his feathers which has been a constant struggle in his progression of flight skills.
