Just curious. I would love a macaw some day but don't think I can afford one.
How much do you spend on your macaw per month?

i bought fargo for $4500, then it was $400 on a cage.. and about $200 on toys..
each week its about $20 dollars on fresh fruit and veges... he then gets probably $50 dollars of new toys and foot toys and treats a month

It would cost about 2000 to 10,000 depending on the macaw. To get a really good size cage to fit a macaw would be 600$ . 50$ to get good quality toys. 12$ to get macaw pellets not adding the fruits, veggies,vitamin supplements for some birds. The most costly one his vetinary care. Can be 1000 s of dollars for a surgery on a macaw or 200 $ depending on the vet for a check up.

It depends on where you live, In the U S on the east coast, I purchased my GW at approx 2,000, another 1,000 for the cage, 300.00 the first week in Vet bills. I have two birds so it runs approx $25.00 a week in fruit and veggies, 50.00 a month for seed, nut, and dried fruit mix. 50.00 a month in Pellets.
I too make my own toys so zero there. I get free news paper from my neighbors to line the bottom of my cages.
Wait a while until you can afford a Macaw. Most people who ask how much does a Macaw cost normally cannot afford it.
They are expensive but worth every dollar. Best of luck Joe

Uhhh.... lol, I think I'm averaging $80-100 per fortnight and I haven't even got it yet!
Toys, cage, etc.
Cage $580
Two Air Purifiers/Filters $199ea
Toys $90 per order (done two so far)
Then later will be food, vet checkups, toys, etc.
(This is for a Hahns)

That sounds like a question my hubby would ask me.
Not including the initial purchase price of my Macaw, the cage and accessories, I'd say I spend about $200 on all 3 of my birds/month, give or take a little.
And yes, worth every penny.

$20-25 bag of food
Toys, make most but probably $12-15
Fresh food ??? A lot of it she shares with us at our meals, fruit, veggies, chicken, etc.
This doesn't count cages, vets, and other expenses that aren't monthly
