(20 yr old Severe Macaw passed away)
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 new CAG friend, but truly missing having a macaw in the house. I have no children, no pets outside the feathered companions. Cost isn't an issue.
A few questions:
1. Better to adopt a young macaw from a breeder, or older from a rescue?
2. I have 2 male birds...would it be better to adopt a male or female? Does it matter?
3. Suggestions on what type of macaw would fit with the flock?
Just trying to plan for the future! Asking now, as some breeders have years-long waiting lists. I'd want to buy larger stands/aviary now to accommodate the larger bird when he/she joins us.
