Recently they spend most of their time as close to each other as possible through their cages and when I'm cleaning their cages (pushed together) they love to scratch each other and "hold" claws. I plan to let them interact again with supervision outside of their cages soon. He is much more interested in her now.
Breeding is not my main objective here but I do feel they may be happier together. If they should bond a well known breeder has offered to help me and she lives near me. My main fear is he won't want anything to do with me anymore if this happens. And I would not keep them apart out of selfishness but I would like to know the possible behaviors such a bond would mean for me so I can be a bit prepared.
For those of you who have had experience in this situation would you please let me know what your experiences have been? I would really appreciate your responses.
Both birds are extremely sweet and loving macaws. They really do fit the stereotypes of the Hyacinth Macaws as "Loving Giants"... and they are the only ones who fit the stereotypes of all my parrots, not a huge believer in species profiles and I think I got lucky with these two.
