Hey guys, so I kinda had an older blue and gold fall in to my lap, an older family members has had this bird for about 10 years (5th owner) heās getting pretty old and wanted to find a better home for his bird, A, cause he isnāt able to provide as well as he should, and B, he wants to take care of things be for he passes. So Iāve volunteered to take Joey, Heās a beautiful Blue & Gold Macaw, somewhere around 30 years old. He wasnāt getting much attention, heās on a pellet only diet, and his beak is pretty badly over grown, Iāve alreay talked to my local bird store and have arranged to have his beak and nails taken care of, but I was just curious if you guys have any advice or pointers for me. He seems pretty trusting with new people, heās a bit leary of me but will let me handle him, especially if I have a peanut lol. Also with being on a pellet only diet how should I approach introducing a proper diet, I know with dogs, you have to slowly give them a new food, not sure if itās the same for birds. Thanks in advance guys. Looking forward to your recommendations.
