macaw

I've never had a bird to be real I've done so much researching on macaws and they're needs and care I've been told that I should go for a Green Cheek Conure for a " beginners " bird Im home 24/7 or I'm outside gardening with my dogs yes I have dog's I have 4 I adore them but I really like to get...

I'm putting out a request to have a post made by someone with extensive Macaw experience to make a sticky post regarding the proper Macaw diet. As I understand it, and please correct me if I'm wrong; Macaws require a higher fat diet than, say, an Amazon. They get this fat mostly from healthy...

A friend of mine has just started researching GW Macaws and will begin her search for a reputable, responsible breeder at some point next year within theg state of Texas. Any recommendations?

I haven't been around in awhile due to some rough personal issues, but fortunately I'm getting things back on track now, and I wanted to reach out and let you know how Sunny is doing! And also give hope to all the new parrot owners like me who have the best intentions but not a whole lot of...

We got a harlequin macaw a few weeks ago. After being a bit timid for a few days, he has become very friendly almost all the time - we can feed him out of open hand, he makes cooing and chuckling noises, does a lot of dancing and head bobbing and replies to a few of our attempts to teach him...

Medium/Medium large rehome parrot. I’m in NJ. I have other pets, dogs, birds, and a hairless cat (rehomed). Would love one of my own. I’m home most of the time and if I’m not someone else is😊

Hi guys, I am a frequent reader of parrot forums and finally decided to make an account today. The reason for this post is that I want opinions on Macaws as I am looking to purchase/Adopt a Blue and Gold macaw. First, I will outline my experience with birds. As of now I only have one (very...

I'm doing research on green wing macaws, and I've been getting a lot of mixed results on their age. Some say that they live to be 80 on average, and then other sources will say less than 50. I just want to see if any green wing macaw owners had any actual data so I could get a good average...

Hi everyone So Today when I took my macaw outside of the cage so he can play But suddenly he vomited/regurgitated not sure a white saliva like substance he didn’t want to eat before that. After what happened he ate. Is it normal He is acting normally ,screaming , talking and normal feces I...

Hi everyone, I have one bird, he's a Black Capped conure named yuuki. Anyway, I'm looking at getting another bird, hopefully a larger species. Like a macaw or a cockatoo. I'm looking for a bird that won't bite other people that it's not used to, and won't scream at the top of its lungs every 3...

As you may know, I just adopted a 3 yr old rescue CAG and have a 25 yr old Amazon. As the CAG and I start training, I've been thinking ahead to plan for a 3rd bird in the next few years. I have space for an aviary outside and a large cage in the "bird room" in the center of the house. I love our...

Hi I lost my macaw to kidney failure in November 2017. I tried to adopt from three rescues but they thought I should let my bird fly loose all over the house. They also didn't like the fact that my Dobie is encaged in a large encloser due to her bladder issues and dog aggression. All my animals...

Sunny has had some anxiety when I leave since I got her, but recently it's gotten a little worse. There's been a lot of change at the house in the last week or two, which I'm sure is part of it. She switched to her new cage on top of all of that. She's been talking basically nonstop every time I...

I'm interested in adopting or purchasing a parrot from someone who is looking to rehome. I have found a rescue in Pittsburgh PA but I believe they only do adoptions within an hour of the rescue :( I live about 2 hours away. If anyone here has any info on other rescues in PA I would love to know...

I've heard people say it can be done, but I was curious if anyone here has given it a try? Sunny has never flown as far as I know. She doesn't even try to glide, and given that she came with cut flight feathers, it's not like she could even if she wanted to. I've been letting them grow in, but...

It has happened the last few times I've managed to pet her (also trying not to die from excitement that she let me touch her and didn't try to take a finger off this time!). I think she wants to hold my hand? I'm not sure though if I'm missing something. She doesn't like me near her face at all...

I guess I’ll make this a thing since i visit bird stores a little too often and have some experiences or spot some things that shouldn’t be done towards birds. This post will involve two stories 1.) Today I visited the store known as Omars Exotic Birds, I don’t know if anyone has heard of this...

Sunny tries to feed me 24/7. If I walk by, regurg. If I look at her, regurg. If I'm standing in the hallway and she can see me through the open door on the other end of the house, regurg! When she's sitting on the bed while I draw or watch tv, that's when it get's serious. Her favorite thing...

I don't know if it is specific to Hahn's macaws, or if all macaws do it, or just my little guy, but he does something that my old Pacific Parrotlet and budgie didn't do. He sometimes opens his beak and almost looks like he is pretending to say something, but the only sound that comes out is an...

We've had Sunny the blue and gold macaw for under a month. I'm new to owning a large parrot and spent a lot of time researching. Sunny has been very adaptable, loving, and trusting, considering everything she's been through. I don't know her age or how many homes she's been through in all (at...

We adopted a blue and gold macaw who we were told was around 55 years old I was told she’s was an outside bird who wasn’t really getting any attention. Her previous owner (a male) wanted her to have a better home so we offered. We got her cage all cleaned up set up with some wood toys got her on...

Hello :) So after years of dreaming about having a big parrot (I mean bigger than cockatiel and budgies, I had those since I was 10yo, not anymore though) I finally can get one. I do not work and I have a 7yo child, plenty of experience with many medium sized parrots (second hand experience from...

I was so sick yesterday with both a migraine and even monthly cramps that I was unable to do anything or hardly get out of bed. I even had the room fairly dark the whole day. I felt bad for my bird Boy, but what could I do. It was only until about 5:00 pm that I let him out, but was still unable...

Hello Parronts, My name is Matt and I am new here. I wanted to join a community of fellow parrot lovers, and luckily I've found this retro yet charming website. I am 18, not that it matters, and I have fairly recently discovered a love for these beautiful and intelligent :white1: animals. I am...

Before adopting my Hahn's macaw, my husband and I had a budgie and then a Pacific Parrotlet for almost 15 years. Both slept with their head under their wing. I thought that was pretty much how all birds sleep, but my husband and I do not believe our Hahn's macaw sleeps like that. Our Hahn's...

Hi, My name is Ebrahim Mohamedali. It has been a life long dream of mine to own a macaw parrot. However, I am 100% aware of how noisy they can get. So, let me jump straight to it. Have any of you ever owned a macaw in an apartment? Is there any thing I can do to keep the noise levels down...

Our young 6.5 month old macaw makes the craziest sounds. We're trying to teach him words and phrases in English and in Czech, but I guess it will take him a while. How long did it take your macaw to learn some English (or other language) words/phrases? We think that MAYBE he tries to say "Step...

I say. I'm new to macaw ownership. I have a Hahn's macaw. We let him climb all over the top of his cage, and on the play gym, which is right next to it. The play gym also has food and water cups and toys. Well, food and toy remnants get tossed halfway across our bedroom, where he resides...

Hi everyone! I am new to this thread and usually trying to find answers looking through old threads, and i finally figured out how to ask questions on here lol. I recently bought a 7 week old catalina baby macaw :red1: and love him. I have had him for one week now and have been hand feeding him...

I'm having a problem. I can afford this macaw and I would love to bring him to a new home. My parents don't though. Yes I am unfortunately still living with my parents. She will be 100% my responsibility and will be in my room. I have experience with birds but my parents are worried about the...

Hi, i live in the Lower state of Australia, Tasmania, and as you can believe there are next to no breeders(respectable breeders) of macaws here. At this time i myself or my family is not ready for the bird but will be in months time. The contract details of known, respectable breeders that...

Hey guys, so I kinda had an older blue and gold fall in to my lap, an older family members has had this bird for about 10 years (5th owner) he’s getting pretty old and wanted to find a better home for his bird, A, cause he isn’t able to provide as well as he should, and B, he wants to take care...

Retired man looking for a companion. Can offer TLC with ample living environment.

People from another thread about my baby macaw asked to keep them updated with pictures, so i i thought i'd make a special thread for this. Maybe some people are interested :D In this thread i'll be posting pictures about my baby macaw and how he's growing! This is Jack / Jacky (depending if...

Hi! I thought i would take a moment and introduce myself, I'm Montana & i have a new baby Blue & Gold Macaw. This is my first macaw but not my first time hand feeding. I used to raise ducklings and fostered a 5 year old african grey for about 6 months. I'm super excited about my baby!! His name...

So, I received a military macaw around a month ago from a friend who couldnt care for it because she was always busy, so now I own a military macaw, many of my family members owned parrots and birds before but I dont live anywhere near them to ask them questions, so now i've resorted to asking...

so long story short my GW macaw comes to work daily (or used to). i had a small/medium sized dog cage with a perch attached that lived in the back of the car. someone stole my car cage and all. i'm using a cover car at the minute and might need to end up replacing my car but regardless, buying...

Hey all, in about a month or so I'm adopting a rescued Green Winged Macaw that I've been visiting for over a year and a half now and looking for any tips on training or just overall wellness. Before the rescue, he was hoarded for years and and has taken a toll on his health. He plucked nearly...

so.. my bird just passed away in january on my birthday.. I miss having a bird, and was curious if there was anyone in Michigan that had a large parot, such as a macaw, or a congo african grey that they need to find a home for. Now, I have a cage, and have money for food and care supplies, but...
