Hello, I am a proud owner of an African Grey, Coocoo :grey:, who is now 3 years old :) he is sweet, loving and very talkative. Yesterday arrived my brother's B&G Macaw from the States where he had him for 2 years. The Macaw is 2 1/2 years old and LOVES my brother. My brother will arrive to...

So I've had Edgar a few months now and hes finally adjusting but I have one problem HE IS SCARED OF EVERYTHING. When he's out of his cage he won't leave my arms, he won't go on the couch, on the bed, on the floor, on a chair, I even bought him a portable perch to see if he would get off my arms...

Hello everyone. My name is Cindy and I am new to the site. I'm a huge bird lover and an owner of an adopted 7 year old blue and gold macaw. I got my bird Ziggy about 2 years ago. He is a good bird, and I hope this site will help me build a greater relationship with him.

Hello, we have a 2yo military macaw named Pollo. He is very friendly and will step up and fly to anyone ( his wings aren't clipped). He will nip and nibble, not aggressively but playfully. He is always active and hates being alone in his cage. He has eaten through his aviator harness and...

Ok guys this isn't really a problem question just a what's your suggestion question. So most of you know I took in a baby Scarlet Macaw who was being mistreated and was very afraid of everything and anything. So he is now 7 months old and I feel that we can finally tackle bath time! My question...

I've read the entire internet ... twice ... and here is what I have learned 1. 80% pellets 10% fresh fruits and veggies and 10% nuts. 2. no pellets 100% fresh fruits and veggies and people food (with the well known exceptions) 3. any where inbetween 1 and 2. I'm not sure what or how much Coqui...

Hi everyone, just about a month ago I got a 4 month old blue and gold macaw. Since I got him from the breeder hes been sneezing off and on. Some days more then others. some days not at all. And only a few times has actual "snot" came out. His nares are slightly pink. The breeder said its just...

Hello, everyone! Did I already introduce myself? My name is Dani. I live in New England and I have a Severe Macaw. She is 7 years old (I think) and spunky! I also have a standard poodle; he knows the bird is boss, despite their significant size difference! I am on because I am on because I...

Hello All, I've been fighting this decision but I truly think it is the best for my girl. Bella Luna was given to us when she was 7 months old. Her feather were a mess but now she's healthy but I don't believe as happy as she has been in the past. Unfortunately, I had to start working...

So after much looking around and searching, I found a cage for my (future) Hahn's Macaw. It is 30" x 64" with a 5/8" bar spacing. Description is at the bottom. I'll be getting the 717. (Black) Finding a cage for a Hahns was rather annoying - anything bigger had too large bar spacing, and...

Hello Parrot Forums members!, I am brand new to the site and this is my first post. I currently do not have a parrot, but would like to get one in the near future. I have done plenty of research on the different types of bird/parrots, and feel that the Macaw would probably be a good fit for...

My blue and gold macaw, as well as about every picture i have seen of macaws has white stuff on their beak, I was just wondering what it is?

I have a blue and gold macaw that is 10 years old. About 3 days ago I noticed a small bump was coming up on her face. Now there are several bumbs and the original bump is getting larger. I was wondering i anybody could tell me what it might be? I have never seen this in any of my birds...

I adopted a B/G macaw from a friend of mine just over 2 monts ago. I had never had a bird before, but Lady was is bad place. She was living in an outside "aviry" in mid winter in England and the cage was way too small and dirty. She had plucked a lot of her feathers on her wings and the rest...

Hi All, Educators at an animal rescue center in the UK got a rude surprise when they recruited “Mr. T” to visit local schools as part of a conservation-themed program. The 7 year-old Green-Winged Macaw was friendly and eager to show off his speaking abilities, but most of what he said was...

I had a previous flightless red front macaw. Well, he has been passed for almost a whole year now (vet put him under for blood work and he regurgitated), so my husband and I bought a new one, but a female. She is over a year old now and was greatly bonded to her sister. We met her last fall...

We own a rescue and rehome bird store and one of our Macaws has started breathing very heavily lately and coughed up some white foam looking stuff. We have been cleaning the store out and moving things around a lot and bird dust has been flying through the air from moving things where the dust...

I'm new to bird ownership and it has been quite challenging. Four weeks ago I adopted a 4-week old scarlet macaw. So far, it is doing great, but I am somewhat sleep deprived. After I got it, we went to the avian vet, and everything seemed fine. A local breeder who has been very helpful with my...

so if you could have any bird what would it be. lets just say we live in some dream world where you dont have to worry about mess, noise, and we all had the experience to own any bird negative qualities and availibility asside. even if its extinct! i would have a palm cockatoo, hyacinth macaw...

i have a 1 year old scarlet macaw. i noticed that when she stands on flat surfaces she has 3 toes facing forward, instead of 2. its only on one foot. i noticed it bcuz she wasnt really walking, and if she would start to she would walk in a strange way. she hasnt always been like that(this just...

:blue1: Hi Sage and I are new here. He is a wonderful nearly one year old blue and gold macaw who is very social, loves going to local outside restaurants, and often poses for pictures with all and sundry who come by. He travels on a pvc perch that fits over the passenger seat. I have had him...

I have recently adopted an eight year old blue & gold Macaw and wanted to get some advice about handling him. He didn't get a lot of attention at his old house but would step onto his old owners hand if he was in a good mood. He will let me stroke him through the bars of the cage at certain...

Hi, My name is Cindy. My boyfriend and I just adopted a 6 year old Blue and Gold Macaw about a month ago. This is my first large parrot, my boyfriend's second (He had a B/G macaw when he was younger). Our Macaw Ziggy has been settling nicely. He is a character. Some of the stuff he's says you...

I'm glad to have found this forum. I bought a baby Greenwing from a local breeder six weeks ago and named him Mardy. I spend a couple of hours with Mardy each weekend. Since I don't see Mardy the other 166 hours of the week I don't really expect to have achieved any real bonding, but I do...
