I hope this isn't your Chaos, but it seems that it is. I'm so so sorry! I know you will find a lovely home for your boy.

In what sort of environment do you think he would thrive?
Either in one where he is the main pet/bird, or in a setting with another macaw.

Chaos has lived in my living room for 20+ years, so he's never been alone, always just a few feet from me.
Isolation (or a room of his own) I believe would devastate him as he's never felt it.
He has never been around other birds his size, but I think would enjoy it and even bond with one.
Chaos has never developed a mate bond with me, so he's ripe for falling head over heels.
He likes my smaller birds, the dangers in size differences though have always convinced me to not allow them to mingle.

A family/person that allows him his space is what I think would work best, he is not a cuddly bird, but is one that loves company.
Who knows though, in a new home, new people, new place, he could fall madly in love with his next owner and turn into a totally different bird.

I think it all depends on the new owner's patience and personality.

Sorry you have to rehome him. I hope you find him the perfect home. A perfect home would be with someone that really loves birds & can spend time, funds, etc. Our lives changed when we got our birds, but we knew it would. His new owner should understand that & be willing to put him first before many of life's pleasures. They need to understand he will be family, a companion, or like a child, & not just a pet, but included in daily life. I'd suggest, whom ever he ends up with, you have them sign a legal contract that if it doesn't work out you get him back.

The people I got JaJaBinks (passed August 2020) from couldn't even handle her. She didn't know how to step up. They had her in a tiny home made junky cage, no toys & kept in the dark 24/7 so she'd be quiet. When I got her she was 2 years & 1 week old. It took me many months to turn her around & she ended up being an amazing companion.

If I were younger & Chaos was female (my 3 parrots are female) & I had the space for another large cage I'd consider taking him. I'm sure he & JaKhu would have a blast destroying things. If Chaos isn't a destroyer JaKhu would teach him in a heart beat how to be, LOL. We just got the aviary out-fitted for summer & day one outside JaKhu totally destroyed a new toy.

Best wishes.

Not sure if you'd wanna post a pic to show how magnificent he is,but if you do may I politely suggest the one where he's either catching or throwing a ball I believe it is? I think that really shows off his personality :heart:

What state are you in? How do you think he would do in a home with a 4 year old and 9 month old?

With the proper owner he'd do fantastic. Good owners bring up their children to properly love, respect and care for animals.
But you'd need some very special people to vouch for you as I've never seen you here before today, and this is your first post.
I am in Pennsylvania.

Oscar came from a small flock and has great flock skills, so I think Chaos and Oscar would hit it off if their citizenship aligned -- brothers from different mothers.

(never noticed their names are anagrams, off by 1 letter)
