macaw

Is there anyone that can tell me where I would look if for mini macaws. When is the breeding season. I had a yellow collared macaw that I had to rehome when my twins were born. This decision has always left a vacant spot in my life. If I can get some information about breeders of mini macaws or...

Hi everyone! I came across this forum and I’m excited to have people to talk about my bird with! I have a chestnut fronted macaw named Safari! He’s 7-10 years old! I’m very excited to make some new friends and learn some new exciting parrot stuff! Wanted to share some pictures! The humans are me...

Hi all. I've enjoyed the warm welcome I've received on my introduction post, but it felt like I should break into the "real" forum <smile>. Quick summary: 62 years old, prior GW owner (separated via divorce 15 years ago), now semi-retired. Have a significantly younger wife and two teenage...

Hey Guys, I posted in here a few weeks ago seeking some help with my recently adopted B&G macaw on my prior post. I appreciate everyone’s tips and I’ve been taking things very slow and it’s been a huge drastic change, my boy loves to get pets/scratches and even asks for them. He has no issues...

Hey Guys ! I’m recently just joining this page to get some tips/advice on a newly adopted macaw(2months). A little back story on this big guy: -we are the 3rd/4th home -he is about 30years old -we’ve gotten him fully vetted by our vet including blood work. All this has come back good except...

Hi everyone! This is my first post although I’ve been lurking for a while and reading all the baby macaw threads and the wonderful advise you have offered! Thank you for the great resource. So I’ve previously hand fed an eclectus chick. I am now the proud owner of a baby macaw who is four...

I came home today and my Hahns macaws feet appeared a little red, predominantly his left foot. The soles of his feet were normal this morning and I was only away for 2hours when I noticed it. hes around 5 months old and was curious if you had any ideas what could be causing it. I’m going to...

Hi Can someone let me know what’s the dose and frequency of Benevac Bird Plus for a macaw that is under antibiotic treatment?

I'm a Swede living in Bali and animal welfare here is.... under standards to say the least. I came across a Macaw and decided to buy her as she was just sitting on a tiny chain 24/7. Got her 5 days ago, the owner says she is 3 years old. So, the owner has fed her with baby food via a syringe...

This weekend I’m going to be meeting with a couple Blue Throat Macaw babies and Miligold Macaw babies. I’m having a hard time decided between the two. If there’s anyone out there whose had experience with both can you tell me some important characteristics of the two? I’m wanting to know the...

I’m finally am able to get my dream bird. However I’m needing some help on the best way of going about getting one. I wouldn’t mind rescuing but I don’t know of any shelters in my state. All the ones I’ve googled are hours away. I’m not sure if local pet shops could help in locating macaws...

Note this may be a long story but I want to make sure I’m doing the right thing for this bird and myself. I’ve been looking into getting a Macaw for awhile now. My best friend of 10 years got her blue and gold macaw 3 years ago. I’ve been with her from the very start with her bird. Even...

Hi everyone! We’ve been researching Shamrocks, GW and many other Macaws. I’ve put calls in to many breeders, rescues, etc. Most breeders tell me what they have is great for my desired traits, others say a Macaw is a Macaw, and then some say the best option would be a GW. I’ve experienced...

I want to replace my blue & gold's cage (and maybe my Hahn's if the price is right). I'm looking for one that's sturdy, and provides relatively easy access for hanging toys. From what I've seen online I like corner cages, but since I've never owned one I would be interested to know if they...

Hello, I was thinking about getting a galah but I am having dificulty finding one for sale or adoption, and was wondering if there was any other species anybody would recommend for me. I am mostly looking for a bird that is playful, and touchable, not necessarily snugly or cuddly but a hands on...

Don’t get a macaw or other large parrot as a pet unless you’re ready. By ‘ready’, I don’t mean seeing a nice one in person or seeing pictures and videos online wondering what will be. By ‘ready’, I don’t mean wanting a bird to show off to friends. By ‘ready’, I don’t mean wanting a bird that...

Does anyone know who’s louder between a blue and gold macaw or an umbrella cockatoo?
