Will a bonded pair of macaws bond to me?

[Harlequin]

Hello everyone! I am new to these forums and Im very glad I found it.

Im going to be adopting a bonded, not breeding, pair of macaws from a rescue near me and I am a bit stressed over it. I feel as if once I adopt these two, they will pay attention to each other, and ignore me/not bond as strongly to me. Im wondering if both birds will consider me in their flock and still build a strong and deep bond with me even though both have found their mate : each other. Ive been thinking of keeping them separate but Im not sure if I really need to. Any opinions?

I would certainly keep them in different cages. From what I've learned, birds kept together in a cage often decide they've got no use for us foul pink hairless apes.

Either way, you've got a TON of.work.ahead of you. My one macaw is a lot... can't imagine two!
