Hello, everyone. I’m brand new to the forum, and have some (probably silly, definitely vague) questions.
To begin, I do not currently, nor have I ever had a macaw, but I have been keenly interested in sharing my life with these lovely little creatures since I was in my early teens. Fast forward 20 years, and I’m finally at a place in my life where I’m financially capable of sustaining one, and feel very much able to devote the proper amount of time and care that these animals need to flourish...so where do I begin?
I would much prefer to adopt than shop, but I am not wholey opposed to purchasing from a responsible breeder. I’m in the north eastern U.S., and have been browsing adoptables and ones for sale, but is there a specific rescue or breeder anyone could recommend? Also, would any of you know of a good, one-stop for all your macaw rearing needs info site? I’ve been nipping info here & there from different places over the years (and also some first hand knowledge from experienced macaw owners), but I’d love to have a good compendium to reference as I learn the ropes. Lastly, if there’s anything anyone simply wants to throw out there to guide me, I’m all ears and appreciate the direction. I want to be as prepared as possible when I welcome one into my home and life.
Thanks for taking the time out to read this and advise, everyone.
