Hi, I am a new member from Phrae, Thailand. We have a 3 year old Blue and Gold Macaw which we love dearly. Phrae is in the north of Thailand, lots of culture, mountains and good food. I love to drive around here with my motorbike and discover new things. Hoping to get some information from...

My daughter's macaw, M. We think he's either a Harlequin or Catalina macaw, but are unsure which. His backstory is in the New Members Welcome forum, under "Unplanned Macaw Caretaker."

Hi Everyone. I am a long time experienced parrot owner. I have an African Grey, a yellow shouldered Amazon, a Cape parrot, and I just got, what I thought was my final dream bird, a red fronted macaw. I have read that they are the most affectionate and friendly of the macaws, and I had met a few...

HELP!! In Need of Advice We're all familiar with this story: Person sees bird, person likes bird, person brings home bird, bird bonds with someone else and the rest is history. But never in a million years did I think it could happen to me. A little over a month ago, my family welcomed...

Hello there, What should a b&g macaw's feeding routine be like? From youtube I saw pellets and veggies in the morning then fruits and seeds as dinner in the afternoon.... should they have food available at all times? And if so then what kind, pellets, veggies, fruits? And during the night do you...

Hi All. New here, mainly looking to connect with other Macaw/Hahns owners as I get to know Max who came home today. (We were told it's a male, but I plan on having him DNA sexed to be sure.) Not sure yet if he's keeping that name, either way. We were told Max is around 2 years old. We also...

Hello everyone! I'm new to this website, but that is not the case yesterday I brought home a blue and gold macaw with all my allowance, and I named him/her Eleven. (Yes I named it from stranger things my favorite show). And now I put it on my stand (because I don't have a cage yet) and speaking...

So. Been a pet lover for many years now, and my family's a pet-loving one as well. Thought for many years about acquiring a bird of my own. Big guy; would prefer a larger bird, which pretty much narrows it down to a macaw. Hyacinthines come well-thought-of, and blue-and-golds as well. Read...

My parents got a macaw when I was about 8. His name his Jeffery and we aren’t exactly sure of his age but we were told he was around 20 at the time. My parents got divorced and after all the kids moved out my mom stopped caring for him almost almtogether. He didn’t get any time out of his cage...
