Good morning , Our Macaw recently started hanging out on the bottom of his cage and shredding the newspaper , then he pushes it out of the cage . He is also burring himself in the paper. We have had him almost 2 years and never saw this before. :blue1:

Hi there, and welcome to the forums.

How old is your macaw, and is his sex (male) confirmed?

Paper shredding is a favorite past time with mine.

My guess is he just discovered that he could, so it's a new way to entertain himself.

Put a phone book on the bottom of his cage (or hang it up.) Let him shred that instead. Free bird toys that keep them entertained for a considerable amount of time? PRICELESS!

Greys do that as well. Mine discovered a stack of papers I keep for changing the bottom of their cages. Couldn't find the bugger one day, and was freaking out, I called out to him, " Greyson where are Ya??" I heard a Peep, and cluck cluck cluck... and there he was in a stack of papers just having a ball.

My YCM plays with newspaper more than any you I've bought him.
