Hi Everyone,
Been researching like crazy, and I have some questions. I’ve read a lot and have spoken with a few breeders as well as rescues. That said, I’ve received a mix bag of thoughts from all. I’ve been pointed towards, Blue and Golds, Greenwings, Harlequins and lastly Miligolds for my desire to have a gentle, but playful temperament/natured Macaw that will be “ok” with multiple family members. I’ve also read in my research that Blue Throated Macaws fit this bill too. Is this generalization of direction from breeders as accurate as a generalization could be? I understand like people, each bird can be different, but I do get the vague generalizations, due to my experience with dog breeds(not trying to group birds into dogs), like Heelers being bred to herd, and Huskies to run and pull, etc etc. Does anyone have any recommendations in terms of a generalized type that fits my desired traits(multi person, sweet/gentle, clownish)?
Also, If I don’t find a bird at a rescue or decide to go the breeder route, does anyone have any good recommendations for breeders? I’m not shutting rescues out, just wondering so I can research Breeders as well and make sure to stay away from any bad ones. Each breeder I’ve talked with has given me a different answer on their opinions on types, so I’m wondering if that’s because that’s what they have available or if it’s truly their honest belief.
