Many people get attached to pet macaws and consider breeding at a later date in time. This type of bird is very friendly and interacts well with people. Do not rush the decision to breed this bird species, first ask if this task has been done by folks you know, to understand exactly what is concerned with this process. Breeding a bird is dissimilar and more concerned than breeding a more common pet like a cat or dog.
A macaw bird keeps a continuing relationship with its mating partner ; , separation is a definite ‘no no’. Leave the birds alone together. Not only are the owners to be committing they must also be determined and have the willpower to breed the parrot since this feat is not acceptable for all folks. The birds need a large amount of attention and love from their carers and from people who breed them.
Blue and Gold Macaws that have already got a home that’s not in natural habitats are the simplest type to breed. Birds that are insulated from the wild are a neat place to start for green breeders. Some macaws are extraordinarily assertive toward humans as well as their mate. They can be physically assertive, especially during the mating time. The first step for breeding macaws is to a find prime quality masculine and feminine in good health for mating and breeding macaws. The best way is to see the bird for yourself and base the choice on your own standpoint.
do not permit others to advocate birds to you especially if this is the first engaging in business with the person. The best choice is to buy two macaws that have been shown to lay eggs and generate healthy chicks. Purchasing a pair that has already bonded is also a good choice because this could increase the success rate for breeding. Before breeding, the healthiness of the bird must be researched. A non-healthy bird would possibly not be able to supply healthy offspring. A veterinarian visit is recommended.
An enormous home and mating area is required thanks to the size of the macaws that you will be breeding. This permits the bird to mate as well as play to entertain itself. Having additional space will contribute to breeding victory. The food given to macaws includes seeds, fruits, nuts and veg. Some breeders also feed the bird additions to add extra nutriments to guarantee health and reproduction. A good diet is necessary to condition the macaw’s body prior to breeding.
Keep in mind the breeding process may be pricey. The process requires dedication and time for successful enterprise. When beginning the process for the 1st time choose a bird species that’s comparatively easy to breed. Select a type which has been simply and successfully bred in the past like the blue and gold macaw. Select conscientiously as there are several macaws that are not recommended for breeding because of the fact they do not breed well. Select birds that are in captivity as they are adjusted to being handled by humans and are calm.

My Blue and Gold Macaw Daimon. He loves cameras and when he saw me holding it he had to come look. He starts dancing incredibly fast toward the end and it’s so funny. I love my ‘baby’ macaw!
Help answer the question about macaw
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.

I have a Yellow Collared Macaw, which is a little smaller than the severe. She was my first parrot. Very affectionate, very playful, full of personality. Very nice bird, but kind of loud. My favorite mini is the Hahn's Macaw. They are the smallest of the minis. Never met one I didn't like-very sweet birds. If I didn't already have my Yellow Collared, I'd get a Hahn's.

Consider it a lifelong commitment. Please don't get a macaw if you live in an apartment – the results wouldn't be good for you or the bird.

The Macaw is studying you, sounds like you gained a positive reply. You are likely to be it's friend if you saw no aggresion. Of course they also bob their head when they eat the food that is stored in the crop. I would guess you are getting a positive motion of acceptance.

curious Says:
If shes alone and doesnt have a mate, it could be that she is letting off this scent to attract a mate to breed with.It could also be something that she is eating like fruit. Sometimes the fruits can ingest into the blood stream and let off the smell, or it could be that her bowel smells like that from what she eats.
Theres also another possibility that these smells are coming from the oil on her skin. Birds need a certain oil on their skin that regenerates every day to keep her natural moisture levels on her skin good, and to help develope feathers.
And yes.. only macaws do it!If she doesnt look unhealthy and has a good appetite then there should be nothing to worry about!=]
Hope this helps you

YES! There is a lot you need to know. Macaws are highly intelligent individuals that have the intelligence of a 3 year old human child. It is a lifetime commitment, the bird will outlive you.
You should read as many books as you can on the subject (search amazon.com) and talk to others who live with Macaws. This decision is every bit as important as deciding to have a child (except the child leaves in 18 years, the Macaw will be with you for over 80 years).
Macaws are NOT starter birds. Start with a cockatiel for a few years to see how it fits your lifestyle. Macaws will need constant attention and a HUGE cage. They are not for everyone, I volunteer at a shelter that cares for over a hundred parrots that have been abandoned because their human care-taker did not properly care for them.
Also keep in mind the expense. Quality food is expensive, toys are expensive, and veterinary bills are VERY expensive (your bird will get sick many times in its life, just like humans).
This is not the forum for "what do I need to know about caring for a macaw," there are entire books written on the subject. I can't stress this enough: you need to read as many books as possible and talk to others who live with macaws. It is a huge life-long commitment that very few people are able to make.

The bird is obviously okay, and besides, he didn;t hold him by a feather, he probably grabbed the fleshy part!

you people know nothing, Dino is actually having fun in this video. Macaw’s can be very playful and love attention. it also happens that macaws grow very attached to their owners, so Dino was not uncomfortable or being harmed at all in this video.
