I just purchased a macaw .(the owner was passing away with cancer) I have a few questions. He 21 yo and has had same owner all his life.
I owned a macaw for many years till I lost him to cancer.
This bird is a very good bird she brought him in my house I took him from her and stared walking him around and she was amazed, he took to me instantly. The thing that puzzles me is I try to take him to sit with me and he rocks back and forth until I take him back to his cage. Is that normal?
He talks almost constantly not sure why. will that slow down?
Ok so it's only been 4 days but I was just wondering what someone with more experience thought?

Welcome and be welcomed. Congrats on the new pal.
I have found that nothing a parrot does in the first few weeks should be considered permanent. Especially with a bird of 21 yrs with the same owner. Patience is the word of the day and for many days to come.

Thx 4 reply. I raised the other b&g from a baby.
I think the fact that this bird will step and talks means he feels comfortable???
