What kind of commitment is involved in purchasing a macaw?

I have loved macaws since I was a little girl. I’m 20 now, and getting ready to get married and move to Boston. I would eventually like to buy a macaw, but I was wondering exactly what I’ll need for taking care of the bird. How big would the cage be, will I need to wait until I live in a house vs. an apartment, what do I feed it, does it need exercise, etc.

Baby bird, what should I do?

I found a baby dove that fell out of its nest. What should I do? naturally i should take it to a rescue center however I have no numbers or areas that I know of where to take it. I’m in Los Angeles, CA and I have no clue where to take it. It’s been without a mother or anything for about three days now; I guess it was in my apartment Stairwell for several days, somebody just told me about it, and so I have it in a little box, I’ve been trying to give it SOMETHING to eat and drink, and I just want some information if anybody can provide me with some. THANKS!
I wasn’t planning on keeping it… I do understand how it could come across as that. It isn’t fully feathered; it’s growing up stuff on its head already. It was found in the stairway of my apartment and there’s no nest to be found; the neighbors and I have searched. i just wanted to know what to do until I can get to a wildlife rescue place, because I don’t want it to die :( Anything to help it out until I can get to it tomorrow. Thank you.

i want the birds to stop nesting on top of my fire alarms and dryer vents, however it must look good?

I do maintenance at an apartment complex and this has become a project, I tried building boxes uses finish trim pieces and 2 x 4′s, but these mud swallows are so persistent and protected so it has to be humane and like I said most importanly still look good.

Why are some people so mean?

I was sitting outside yesterday in my wheelchair where i normaly sit and feed the squirles and birds. This guy comes out of his apartment jumps in his car and cranks it up and starts reving his engine up really loud over and over. Then he puts his car in reverse punches the gas and spins his tires and comes flying backwards. He then slams on his brakes and skids to a halt throws the car in drive and turns the corner right next to me and fishtails around spraying me with gravel and almost hitting me. The next morning which is today i go out to feed the animals like i always do and i see that his car is parked in the spot were i feed the animals. There is plenty of parking right next to where he lives and yet he parks there. I roll over there and notice that his left front tire now has one of those little spare tires on it from when you get a flat. The little spare tire is also flat. He could have really hurt me with his car. Is this karma paying him back and making his tires go flat?

Why do squirrels not eat at night?

Just curious, but I put out food and water for the squirrels on my apartment balcony. I live on the 3rd floor and they jump over from a hanging tree branch and munch away from sun up to sun down, but I never see one stop by when it’s dark.

Where do they go at night? and they don’t eat at night?

The reason I’m confused is because I know that other similar animals like apossums, racoons, skunks and such are always seen more after dark than in the daytime, so I figure that is when they come out in search of food.

So, are my squirrels just so well fed that they don’t have to bother?? LOL

Also, am I hurting the squirrels by feeding them? They aren’t tame and they would never come up to me, but I do sit in my living room and watch them throughout the day stop by and have their fill of peanuts, corn, sunflower seeds, and bird seeds…..and water too. It’s so cute to see them drinking out of the water dish….lol.

Thanks for any info you have.
