- Presently have six Greenwing Macaw (17 yo), Red Fronted Macaw (12 yo), Red Lored Amazon (17 y.o.), Lilac Crowned Amazon (about 43 y.o.) and a Congo African Grey (11 y.o.)
Panama Amazon (1 Y.O.)
1. What species of macaw?
2. Birds that don't get handled tend to not stay tame. That's different than becoming aggressive...
3. Start from scratch. Basic trust exercises. Basic taming and training. Win them over.
4. DO NOT act wishy washy around them, and DO NOT show fear. Firm confident hand, or else just broadcast the fact that the birds can get you to back down.
5. Are these a bonded pair, and are they breeders? If so, the approach is different.
