- I now have a young Hahn's macaw. I used to have a Pacific Parrotlet that lived until almost 15. Before that I had a budgie.
I'm home with my male Hahn's macaw almost all day long, and spend most of that time in the bedroom with him, where he has his cage and play gym. I'll admit that sometimes I have him on the bed with me. It's OK because he is good about doing his little duty on demand where I want him to. He has oodles of toys on his play gym. Some are on the floor of the play gym, some in a white plastic "toy box" next to his play gym, which he can reach. Why doesn't he just play with them on the play gym like a good little boy? Instead, he takes every single toy, one-by-one, and brings it to the edge of the play gym and then tosses it onto the floor. Right now there are 16 toys on the floor. He won't pick them up. He wants ME to pick them up.In fact, when he drops them on the floor he then looks up at me. I don't praise that! I just shake my head. Then I eventually have to pick them up, and onto the floor they go again soon after. I can't think of any way of ending this obviously fun "game" of his.
Often I bring the toys onto the made bed and play with him there. It's kind of uncomfy to play on the floor. Again, he takes every toy and either throws it on the floor, or even worse, manages to climb to the headboard and toss them behind the bed, which is almost impossible to move. We gave him this fun little ring toy not long ago. He really enjoys it, but over the last month, the toy went from having 6 rings to now only 1 ring. Most are behind the heavy dresser or the bed or "eaten by snakes". I've tried to teach him to put them back on the ring holder after he tosses them off, but to no avail.
