Connie, I wouldnt think you would have any problems with him
adapting. He knows you and just let him adjust be patient
and he will be fine. We took in a 10 yr B&G and he is my big
baby. All our macaws are rehomes, even the untame have come
around.This is why we have rehomed 18 and owned by 10 cant
have just one. LOL
