macaw

I am looking into building an outdoor aviary for a blue and yellow macaw but I've got a few questions: Is 3x3 meters big enough for only one macaw? And how high? Is it save to use netting for the roof? something like this: https://larajoseph.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/aviary-photo-1.jpg And...

hello everyone! This is my first post so hopefully i remember to include as much info as possible. So! Ive got an eclectus parrot, hes a male, and hes about 16 months old. His name is max. He's absolutely beautiful and such a sweet heart. Hes been around cats before, which he is not scared of...

Hello everybody! So I have a question that I'm hoping those of you with similar situations can weigh in on. My girlfriend and I are planning on moving in together (yay!). She has a 7 year old green cheek (Tiki) and 5 parakeets that would be coming along with her. After spending so much time...

Here are a couple of Pics I snapped of Goozoo, My Illiger's Macaw

Hi guys, so this is my first post and I love to hear from you guys! So about 2 months ago, I rescued a male Illiger's Macaw (Goozoo) who is 8 years old. I know just a little about the bird and am being patient with training the bird slowly. So he comes from a home where he was exposed to 3...

I need HELP! I recently adopted a macaw and i am still in the adjusting phase. Im having issues with heating. I found a solution for heating inside the cage which would be a THERMAL perch but i need help with how to heat the outside of the cage. It sounds silly but my cage has a playtop and the...

Hello :) first off Hi ParrotForums... this is my first post here. Now, I would like to get into breeding Macaws (In low amounts) and am definitely not going throught the hastle of letting them bread on their own. No I am not a breeder in it only for the money. I love these animals, am aware of...

Hello all , we have officially chosen a noble macaw to join our flock! she is not yet ready to come home yet but i wanted to ask a few questions that google couldn't answer. First i wanted to know whether female and males had different temperaments and what not, and secondly is there a better...

Hey guys! So from Gilligans old owner, he was on zupreem. She said that he was on it because the vet suggested it for his feathers because even though he has all his feathers, they're not very clean or nice looking. I got a different type of zupreem then the old owner had (simply because I could...

Rocco is a healthy happy male Greenwing. Well behaved, good vocabulary. After working for the same company for 31 yrs., I lost my job. Found new employment but now I'm on the road. Rocco deserves more than I can give him. Will come with huge cage as well. Please message me for details. Thank...

Well Jakey and I are still working on leaving the cage, and I really need support so even though there is not much to update I'm posting an update anyway. Things are going pretty much how any one would suspect with Jakey at the moment. I decided to use the towel method to get him out of the...

Hello! I am posting on this forum because I have exhausted all sources I had available to me and finally can admit to myself that I need help. Admittedly, as a first time bird owner I have needed help from day one but I didn't understand how seriously hurt my bird had been in the past. So I am...

Greetings! :green1: We bought a 2 year old male Illiger's macaw almost 1 month ago. He's not tame yet, but he is getting slooowly better. He is very sceptical whenever he is trying to step on our shoulder, arm etc. Usually he makes purring sounds when we're next to him, but everytime he tries...

Hey so what are some cute things you can teach your macaw (like speaking and trick-wise) My baby already does a few things (vocally) He: •says "ow" whenever he hits his beak on something •says "what?" whenever I look at him for a few seconds but dont say anything •makes a kiss noise whenever i...

My teen would really like a Macaw, she is extremely responsible and gets good grades. We have plenty of space in our backyard for a cage (currently living on 12 acres of land), someone to look after the bird while we're away, financially it is not to much of a problem either. As I mentioned...

Hi, so even tough I've done TONS of research on b&g macaws i cannot figure out what this is. This is only my 3rd day having him, he's 24, b&g, says ow and what and eats grapes, apples, melons, and nuts. He's been doing this for the past 2 days, like he makes this sneezing sound and moves his...

Hi everyone. Okay so my name is sydney and i just got my first macaw from my friend who couldn't keep him anymore. His name is Rowdy, he's 24 and hes a sweetheart. As of 7/28/15 this is my 3rd day of having him. I know I'm probably going to get lots of head shaking and disappointed looks but I...

From my understanding, Blue Throateds are the most quiet, Greenwing is the most friendly, and Scarlet is the loudest. I did research on all of these, so I know the basics that you would read on a normal info-page on these Macaw's. Anything else I should know about these three? Narrowed my...

Hello! I have been doing research for the past few months on various types of Parrots and I'm having trouble deciding which one I'd like to buy. I originally wanted an Eclectus, but I ruled that out after finding other species that I liked more. Then I considered an Amazon Parrot. I was the...
