Linda is just mad about macaws

‘I was given one as a present 20 years ago and I’ve been collecting them ever since,’ Ms Plumstead said.

Caring for her more than 40 macaw collection is only a hobby for Ms Plumstead, who works as a nurse at a surgeon’s office.

‘I do sell a few but I don’t breed a lot because I’m very careful as to where they go so it’s only selected people that get my birds,’ she said.
