Hi -good to see and hear of your rescue - I hope your enjoyment is continous in what you need to learn, change, improve, try and compromise; with your bird. Wrench13 is spot on relative to size of cage. stepping up, and creating a bond is where your immediate efforts should be. When she steps up, either to your extended arm, or fly onto your shoulder are the signs of success at this level. Location of where she is and in what means the cage size , and more importantly where it resides. In a family setting its harder than having a spare room, If you do not intend to exercise, or let he exercise alone, then the cage placement becomes important, as she will need always to want and feel to be a part of your life. Thats important because your specie of macaw is of high intelligence, and it doesn"t take long for her to understand how you your family interact and routine. She will soon learn all the important meanings to her daily routine, like when the children go off to school (if you have children) or when you go out in your car - it does not take them long to learn how to fit in, Of course there is a downside , insofar that she will be quick to try and train you, not the other way!!! With bonding you slowly learn the special way your Scarlet macaw responds and tells you what it prefers,
enough for now, more advice will come from members as you periodically post progress - Remember All parrot carers have something in common; and that's they all love their parrots and want best for them
