Hello, and Im excited to be a part of this community.. So I rescued a 20ish year old Macaw last week.He was living in a rescue sanctuary that had a HUGE room with about 50 cages with other macaws. Ive have experience with macaws. I cared for a Scarlett, named Richard(but was called Dick, when he was naughty
...So Tim (the Catalina) has settled in nicely..However Im still learning his behaviors so I haven't tried to handle him, or take him out of his cage. I don't have much info on his past life other than he was rescued from a lady that had him and B&G together. He talks( he's been saying "come on" lately while crouching and slightly flapping his wings( Not sure what this means), screams(of course) and does all the normal macaw stuff.. My question is, when should I allow him to come out of his cage and explore? Ive heard 2 weeks, a week, or when you think he's ready. He'll take a nut out of my hand from the cage, and come over to me when I stand in front of his cage and will scream for me when I leave.. I usually ignore it and come in when he's quieted down. He's in his own room, so I can close his door, and he watches 4k parrot TV, which he loves.. any advice is welcome and appreciated. Thank you!!!
