macaw

so as i mentioned ive now brought lola in to work, thought it would be nice for her rather than stuck in the cage all day at home alone. ive noticed today though at the bottom of her tree there are about 6 feathers. i know its not unusual for the odd one to fall out when preening a bit too...

so work have decided to let me bring lola in daily! she has a java tree and is set up in the corner opposite my desk. the thing is she loves me and i can do absolutely anything i want with her, shake her beak, pick her up when i want, roll her over, lift her wings etc. but when other people in...

Yesterday River and I went outside to have a mini shoot. I'm pretty happy with the way the pictures turned out =) She loved the camera. Hoping for some more nice days so we can go out again for more pictures! a couple of candids. Ranger wanted to come say hello. He had never...

So scouting round the net I come across this amazing cage! https://www.cagesbydesign.com/p-218-majestic-bird-cages-72h-x-144l-x-48d.aspx Absolutely love it and when I move out that's the kind of thing I'll be after. Typical it's American only though you guys have all the luck! Lol Suppose...

so i got Lola's wings clipped at the weekend! still feel badly about it to be honest and whats even worse is she should of had them done while in boarding as i was away and they hadn't... i had to see (or should i say hear as i looked away) it being done :| but although a bit moody initially it...

It's nice to see people who are genuinely concerned with what's best for their birds! My parents began taking in abused parrots and rehoming them when I was a junior in high school. 5 years later, they are about to buy their SECOND hyacinth macaw. :blue: We found our first hyacinth about a year...

Hi all: While we are not ready for a new flock member just yet, we are starting to think about our next parrot(s). I thought I would come here and ask advice. This will be a long post, so please bear with me. We have had some experience with birds, through my veterinary practice ( it was...

Hello, I was looking into getting a cage for a future Catalina macaw. I found one I like from King cages but was wondering if the dimensions would be good for her. The dimensions are 54"W x 42.5"D x 72"H. I am unfamiliar with the standards for corner cages and have read mixed reviews on the...

hi i wouldnt say this is really a health concern as such but figured this might be the best section for advice... i have a greenwing macaw, lola, she is coming up to 5 months old (which could be the reason) and shes a lovely looking bird but her tail feathers are really tatty and scruffy (ill...

I have been doing research for two years on what kind of macaw is right for me and Im leaning toward the Red Front but the guy at the store was just trying to sell a bird and would not tell me the cons of owning these birds. He told me they were cuddly like the hyacinth macaw but not as loud as...

Hi there fellow bird lovers! I thought in lieu of an intro thread, I'd start a discussion! I searched the forum, and didn't see this one specifically (though I could have missed it, lol), I wondered what everyone's opinion on letting your birds preen you. Big bills, little beaks, and everything...

I thought since you've all been so friendly and helpful I'd let you know that I made my decision. I was in the breeders home and he shown me both and I knew instantly which was the bird for me. Lola the green-wing macaw should be home on Wednesday :D As a new macaw owner and always eager to...

Hey there, I'm new to the site and trying to find a little information on how to deal with an extremely bonded severe macaw. So I got Zazu when he was 8 months old from a guy off of craigslist. I did extensive research on the breed and meet the guy at his home. The man was very professional, had...

hi everyone i know ive asked a question in the past about which macaw and got a lot of helpful advice however all macaws were being thrown in and ive now narrowed it down to 2. i went to visit some yesterday and was shown scarletts (beautiful but not for me) the greenwings and b&gs as id...

Hello! I am considering getting a macaw. How do I buy a baby macaw? I googled it, and on the first link I see this site Beautiful Hand Fed Baby Birds For Sale Parrots, Macaws, African Greys, Cockatoos. U just click buy and it gets you to paypal. It's too easy to pay, how do I know that I will...

Heyyyy~i'm rather new to this forum so i thought i'd introduce myself and my parrots!:D i have two sun conures, ollie & jollie. they were purchased separately but are now quite good buddies and stay together. we got ollie when he was around 3weeks old, before we knew of the dangers associated...

HI soon to be macaw owner well aware of the effects cooking with teflon pans can have to birds and don't wish to think of the consequences, all teflon pans will be removed and replaced before arrival. my question however is that there are people in my house that use straighteners/curling...

Okay, so in my first post, I said I really want to own a Macaw or African Grey. (I'm going to get my bird experience-- ie. Cockatiels, IRN, GCC, ect.***) And I did a lot of research on the breeds, and I came to the conclusion of wanting a B&G, GW, or a Harlequin; CAG; and now a Galah Cockatoo...

The time is getting ever so closer to me finally getting my macaw, i love the breed in general and before research had my heart set on a scarlet macaw. the price puts a hyacinth well out of question so id settled on either B&G or GW. what i wanted to know is my original love of the scarlet's...

I already posted this under new members, but i was really hopeful for other Macaw owners to help me with some helpful advice. I wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I am fairly new to parrots. In the last year I was asked to adopted a 12 y/o quaker parrot (Larry) and a 17 y/o African Grey...

I wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I am fairly new to parrots. In the last year I was asked to adopted a 12 y/o quaker parrot (Larry) and a 17 y/o African Grey Congo( Mogul). I have enjoyed them very much and things have gone quite well with them. However, these were not bird I was...

Hi everyone, there's a chance that for my birthday, I will get permission to get another parrot. Its not final, but we'll see. Until then, I'm figuring out what bird I would like. I already have a nanday conure, black jack, who doesn't have a mean bone in his body (but he can be a real brat...

I caved and decided to buy a baby green wing macaw. Anyone know any good breeders for a decent price? If not, I am going to go with Daniel Walthers from Georgia. He does an amazing job with his babies and every customer has been MORE than happy with their babies! They come harness trained...

hi, im looking to get my macaw about November time but whilst looking forward to it i thought "will there be babies about at the time". like can they breed at any point or is it only certain times of the year (for instance they only breed feb-april etc.) ive tried to search the net but all i...

We are going to be getting a 5 month old B&G in mid-October. We are sooo super excited, we already have the cage but now begins the long wait. We have had a conure before but this will be our first Large species parrot. The breeder is amazing and even will be beginning flight suit...

Hello everyone. I'm a relatively new member although I've been a lurker for MONTHS prior to finally deciding on purchasing a bird (research research research!). Some of you might have seen my introductory post on the New Members thread a few months back, but for those of you who haven't I'd like...

http://i39.tinypic.com/ndvoec.jpg I posted 2 links because I'm not sure which one to use, lol. But I just got this female macaw and I was told that she's a scarlet but I'm unsure, the feathers that should be yellow are black and she's smaller than my blue and golds which is odd for a "scarlet"...
