3 Things You Must Know Before Getting A

There is a reason why #Macaw #Parrots are so iconic- they are incredible, beautiful and watching them fly helps me make sense of the world!
However, before you get a Macaw Parrot, it is best to know and understand what you are getting yourself into!
1 Their Bodies
These are parrots that are large, and this should be carefully considered. In some ways, a Macaw parrot will take a toll on you because their feet are strong, their nails are long and their beaks are powerful. I’m confident that a Macaw parrot that is angry could do a lot of damage, but even when they are not and they are just playing, bonding and connecting with you, they leave their marks!
Their size also means that their sound is significant and their need to fly and chew wood can’t be denied. These birds need space to fly, to squawk and have fun!
2 Their Attitude
These birds have an attitude! They are intimidating and they know it, which means that people who have had parrots and know how to take care of them do best. Otherwise, one bite can be enough to keep some people from continuing to spend time with a Macaw - a sad fate for both people and the Macaw.
3 Their Diet
Macaw parrots have special dietary needs. In addition to needing fresh vegetables every day and parrot pellets, they also must have nut fat to be healthy. The thing about Macaws is that they are, in this way, expensive to keep. Because they are large, they require the largest cages or aviaries; additionally, buying Macaw mix or nuts can get expensive. I find it is more expensive than feeding a large dog!
