    Yes it can be! And if not done correctly a destructive habit! LOL. (considering the damage they could do with their beak to cords and such)

    Ive had a Mini Macaw before. First year alone on maintenance was probably about 900$ (toys, food, vet, visits, supplies, etc)

    My grandfather has a model train in the basement, I figure the tracks and all that take up about 20'x40' of the basement.

    yea rock carving I guess? haha its sculpture, but yea you use chisels and then riflers to fine it down, and then you wet sand it and wet sand it then polish :) its fun and time consuming.
