My B&G Macaw loves petting, especially on his ear. What are other spots to make him comfy? Are there bad spots to touch a macaw? Is touching a macaw too much a problem?
Head, neck, feet & beak. Otherwise nothing else. JaKhu likes me to touch her tongue & loves head & neck rubs. I rub feet, so they aren't fussy about nail trims.
For baby birds, I touch them all over so they get used to being handled. As they get towards a year old then I leave it to the head and the feet. My baby greenwing would lay on her back and sometimes I would rub her belly, but I stopped as she got older.
