hi
this is my first post, im new to this forum as i stumbled across it looking for information whilst doing my research and everybody seemed dead friendly and helpful
im looking at getting a macaw in the not so distant future, just arranging my room and making some alterations to accomadate the bird before he comes, space his big cage, change the carpet to viynl and soundproof etc. ive been doing research for months and months and have read all over the internet, seen videos on youtube, purchased books etc. what i would like to know is some personal advice on what to do when bringing my macaw home. for instance should i leave him in his cage for a few days to get settled, should i begin handling and socializing straight away? is there any tips or things i could do to help this bird trust me? i read somewhere that continuous blinking whilst looking at and approaching the bird is a way of showing him your not a threat? any information like that would be very much appreciated. i just want to make my bird happy and give him, and me, the best start we can have
thanks in advance!
