Getting a 4 year old GE

[maounm]

Hello everyone! I already have a 4.5 months old GW i raised him since he was a baby. Now i am getting a 4 year old GW macaw. I want to what kind of different behaviour should i expect from him? I have experience with baby macaws but not adults. Thanks!

I've had three GW macaws now and the only thing I can say that they all have in common is a calmness. Of course, they get silly at times and they are very destructive and have the tool on their face to carry out great destructiveness. They learn very quickly and are considered one of the smartest of the macaws - mine have been very smart (and manipulative).

GWs seem to like humans and are comfortable with them.

Is it easy to bond with an Adult macaw? He is very attached to his previous owner.
