Hi y'all!
I introduced myself in the "introductions" section.
I have an opportunity to get a "jubilee" baby this weekend. I have previously owned a macaw, so I am familiar with macaws and their needs. BUT my (previous) macaw was a "second hand" bird and I got him at about a year or so old. I have not hand fed a baby, but I feel confident in my abilities.
Here are my questions:
1. Would you get an un-weaned baby? Why or why not?
The breeder says the baby eats twice a day, but from what I've read, the baby should be eating three times a day.
2.Can I increase the number of feedings?
3. When should I begin offering "solids"?
Thanks!!!
