    FINALLY Found A Cage for Hahns!

    So after much looking around and searching, I found a cage for my (future) Hahn's Macaw. It is 30" x 64" with a 5/8" bar spacing. Description is at the bottom. I'll be getting the 717. (Black) Finding a cage for a Hahns was rather annoying - anything bigger had too large bar spacing, and...

    Hi All, Educators at an animal rescue center in the UK got a rude surprise when they recruited “Mr. T” to visit local schools as part of a conservation-themed program. The 7 year-old Green-Winged Macaw was friendly and eager to show off his speaking abilities, but most of what he said was...

    New Member, Lucas.

    I'm new to bird ownership and it has been quite challenging. Four weeks ago I adopted a 4-week old scarlet macaw. So far, it is doing great, but I am somewhat sleep deprived. After I got it, we went to the avian vet, and everything seemed fine. A local breeder who has been very helpful with my...

    I've adopted a Macaw & need some advice

    I have recently adopted an eight year old blue & gold Macaw and wanted to get some advice about handling him. He didn't get a lot of attention at his old house but would step onto his old owners hand if he was in a good mood. He will let me stroke him through the bars of the cage at certain...
