- I now have a young Hahn's macaw. I used to have a Pacific Parrotlet that lived until almost 15. Before that I had a budgie.
I imagine that certain types of macaws tend to have a certain amount of similar behaviors, but certainly they are individuals and they are their own birds. I know nature and nurture also play a part in making them who they are. What is your type of macaw? And what is their personality like?
My guy is a little wild child. I think I may be slightly responsible for that, but do believe it's his own personality, too. He's a Hahn's macaw. He is a really funny and smart guy, but also a bad boy on occasion. He likes horseplay, which I know I shouldn't indulge him in, but it gives him such a joy. I think he has been a bit hormonal lately, so he's been a little nasty on occasion if he doesn't get his way or isn't the center of attention as much as he likes.
My guy is learning to say a lot of things, mostly in Czech. When he is frustrated, he seems to say everything as if it had an exclamation point at the end of it. He likes my husband, but my husband is not as able or willing to deal with him when he gets a little wild and crazy. Our last parrot, a Pacific Parrotlet, was a quiet and docile little boy. Our Hahn's is more like a grackle. He does clearly love us, though me a bit more since I am home more. When strangers come, he is quieter and even a little shy, though he does warm up to them eventually.
