I work for parrot rescue as a foster and sometimes I also advertise and do pickups. I have a moderate amount of experience with macaws. I've fostered 2 B&Gs and one Scarlet for the rescue before. Tomorrow I'm picking up a Greenwing for fostering. From what the people told me he's extremely friendly, goes to everyone, and has never bitten anyone. Hopefully they aren't exaggerating, lol. The last macaw I had was pretty friendly also but she was a screamer and my mom doesn't like the noise they make. I'm HOPING I can get Apallo on the right track as soon as I get him here so maybe he'll behave like my other birds so maybe I could change my mom's opinion on macaws. Can anyone give me advise on how to work with him? I'm familiar with clicker training and plan on giving the bird seed, fresh fruits/veggies, soft foods, and a a couple nuts in shell everyday. I have PVC, rope, plasic chain, and large bird toys to keep him amused with and I'm also getting a stand with him. I'd like to adopt a macaw and I think Apallo would be my best bet.
