- Multiple parakeets and cockatiels. African Grey, Cockatoo, Conure, and macaw experience.
Hi, I am a new user and thought I'd introduce myself to all. My name is Hailey, I'm 13 and from California. I have owned and still own several parakeets and cockatiels. I have conure, African Grey, Cockatoo, and Macaw experience. I've always wanted a bigger bird but I think I'll wait until I'm an actual grown up who can make that decision of owning basically a toddler for 50+ years. So, I will continue to love the little birds for now. But what's the use of dreaming of a big bird and now doing research? I have plenty of time to get as much info as possible So, after around 1 year 1/2 of research on which breed I have decides on a GW macaw. I know, HUGE bird with and even bigger responsibility. That's the one that's suites me most though. Anyways, I have most everything figured out and stuff. I've read all of birdyman666's posts and they were very helpful. So, onto the questions. On a minimum how much time do you spend with your big MAC. What kind of pellets do you feed and on average how much do you spend of fruits/veggies and pellets with minimal seeds a month? I know all birds are different but, for aggressive chewers, how much do you spend on toys for one month on him/her. When they hit puberty and breeding season comes around, which is worse for a female owner male or female? I was getting an indoor aviary that's about 8 feet long and 6 feet tall. For the simple fact that macaws need to stretch they're wings and move around, although I know that even parakeets are more active. Thank you!
