What's the word on Christmas Trees? This will be our first x-mas with our Severe Macaw and I know she'll want to hang out on the tree. Do Macaw's have any problems with pine? Besides the sap and feathers thing.

Good question. I do know if can be horrible for their feathers, but other than that I suspect there wouldn't be any problems. Pine branches are on the safe lists for perches. Also check out where you get it from: was it sprayed with any chemicals, pesticides, or the like.

Once our GW 
stopped being scared of the tree (about 5-10 minutes) it would be promptly destroyed! 
On a serious note, my concerns would be power cords & the ingestion of plastic & stuff from the decorations.

Yeah Pepper has already developed a love of chord chewing, she goes right for them every chance she gets. It's technically my girlfriends parrot but now she making plans for our first X-mas tree. I can't stand x-mas trees. Instead of making an argument over it I'm trying to sell her on the idea it would be bad for the bird. We'll see if she buys it.

My macaw is a scaredy cat, he dislikes our christmas tree (dosn't hate) and he is afraid of the little birds outside. He thinks of himself as little, and vulnerable to the squawking birds outside!
