Sun Conure: Charlie (male)
B&G Macaw: Blue (male)
My macaw was adopted a little over a year ago. He from my understanding was in a very small cage for his size. He was not out of the cage for years on end on top of it. His body shows this. Yes he is vet checked.
When he is on my forearm he’s unsteady, and I can feel him being intense (afraid to fall). He will stumble some. He’s not like other macaws that can hang upside down from a forearm easily. The strength is not there. He gets snippy when he loses his balance too. I’ve thought about getting him a swing, or something to build his strength. He’s so sensitive to new things, and will attack unfamiliar things. Does anyone have any exercise ideas for a gigantic parrot who desperately needs it? Most things on the market are not built for larger parrots. I’m just looking for ideas to help Blue.
