Just yesterday I brought home a blue and gold macaw, Rio. He’s a 4yo sweetheart and he’s really confident and loud. He steps up and gets onto my shoulder but if he’s up too long he starts biting. I was told by the previous owners that he hasn’t had a bath and they’ve been spraying some bath...

I have scarlet macaw he’s almost 3 and when he’s out of the cage and I’m with him he squawks like a baby chick squawks for food and I’m just not sure what that means and why he’s doing it. It starts of low then kind of gets loud. I even asked the vet but I wasn’t really given an answer and it is...

Hello all. As the title states, my father's Blue and Gold Macaw, Mango, passed away today at the age of around 29 years old due to egg binding. I am writing this thread to ask for opinions on whether or not the veterinarians provided the right advice on how to handle Mango's health. I want to...

So I'm tending my first baby macaw. I've raised other baby bird rescues before but this is the first time with a large parrot. So here is the backstory: some local farmers were clearing forest for pasture (soap box: Don't eat South American Beef! I have a front row seat to how cattle practices...

Hi, my names katy and I’ve been thinking about getting a bird but I need some help on which one to get? I’ve already done a couple years of research and am well aware that birds aren’t as what is seen online though they do have their moments. I know they bite and get hormonal and that you need...

I was given a macaw for my birthday, January 26 that I was very unprepared for. Kiwi is my adorable harlequin macaw. Her birthday is August 13 and she is about 6 months old. She has her own room with her cage taking up 95% of the space. I want her to have the best life possible so I'm trying to...

Hi, so I got a catalina macaw a few months ago as a gift (well shes mostly my grandmas parrot, however my grandma is not so happy she had been given the parrot without asking since we have 3 dogs) and she screams a lot. If someone is on the phone, she screams. If she is by herself, she screams...

Ok so, as some of you might know, I was given a macaw as a surprise gift (Warning: NOT A GOOD IDEA) but either way, I read you can take showers with your birds. I also know birds are particularly sensitive to scented things. If I have scented shampoos should we get rid of them? Are there certain...

Ok, so let me say this right off the bat, I'm 15 and my b-day was yesterday. My eccentric uncle decided it would be a great idea to get me a macaw.

My hy and macaw playing around

In what forms can my Hahns macaws have hemp? Seeds are clearly okay because they're in most seed mixes but I want to serve them as sprouts and microgreens. Are these forms safe?

Lola is a rescue and she is very sweet and loving. I have no history on her except that except that she's been living with a wonderful couple for the last 2 years that had rescued her from a chain smoking asthmatic. The lady that rescued her already had a macaw and there was a power struggle...

I’m thinking of getting a harlequin macaw but I read that the father contributes more to looks and personality, is this true?
