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.

cooking for your bird…recipe’s?
Ok, my family flock has grown quite big as we are planning on 2 new additions. Zuess is a redwing macaw and Kaida is a triton cockatoo. both will be joining our family next week. Peachy and Cheeky will be the older sisters and they are both cockatiels. They are all on a zupreme pellet diet with a small amount of mixed seed. I know it is going to get very expensive keeping them feed with their fresh vegetables and fruits, etc. So, I’m hoping I can once every 2 weeks or at the beginning of each month precook a batch of food and freeze it for the month. I would like to put together a recipe that ALL of my birds can share. does anyone have a good recipe?
oops I meant zuess is a greenwing macaw lol. But, he is soooo red!! lol

Macaw Breeder Wine Barrel nest boxes (Part 1)
The wood insulates the eggs alot better and does not heat up and cool like metal does. Yes I do have to treat the barrels and clean the insides from toxins. I may take the barrels apart and sand the interior down to freah wood. Here is the link: www.kingbarrel.com/1822.html
Any macaw bird experts out there I need HELP I have a 6 or 5 year old male blue and gold macaw mix with?
very little military . I´ve had him for 3 years already he was given to me by some one else who loved him she used to hug him, kiss him, pet him, talk sweet to him, but never feed him or gave him watwr.The owner knows we have a dog and 4 cockatiels and 2 cats they are all well feed and well taken care of, so the owner gave us the bird, knowing she couldn´t care for him properly.Here is the PROBLEM the first two years he was ok with us my dad even made him a perch that wouldn´t be above our head, but I will admit we dont like to hold the animals a lot just ocasionally. About a year ago the owner came to visit the bird was happy I gess he would make the pupils of his eyes really small, the old owner was kissing him and all and out of the blue he bit me. Ever since he´s been agressive, we cant even get him out of the cage because he´ll try to atack us he´s also very jelous of the other pets.What can i do to have the old sweet loving bird I used to have

Who feeds grit to their hookbill?
If you do feed grit to your Lovebird, budgie, parrotlet, african grey macaw, cockatiel ect than your bird is in danger. It could suffer from a grit impaction or something. Get it straigt, they dont need it.
TOO MUCH GRIT/GRAVEL WILL KILL PARROTS. It wont kill canaries and finches but it will eventually take it’s toll on a parrot. I have seen people say birds cant go without it but it works the opistite way.
