Posting here as a Macaw Owner!!!!

Well, I love my amazons, and other fids and have dealt with many macaws in stores I've worked at and rescues and friend's and such, but this is gonna be my first macaw.....

If anyone has any suggestions, ideas, thoughts, tricks, funny stories about macaws, especially blue and golds, please let me in loop.....



and get ready, there will be more pictures than you can deal with after Saturday!

Josh, I can't wait to see all the pictures. Hmmm, advice for being a Macaw owner; Keep a good sense of humor.

Pics will be good. I am still waiting for my baby to hatch.

Sounds like you're in for it now, Josh!

yay! congrats!

Hmmm...advise?
Get some ear plugs.

Congratulations :-). I can't wait to see pix of your baby with the yellow flight feathers.

Advice--be kind. Move slowly. Be calm in your dealings with him. Be consistent in your training. Provide lots of toys to meet the needs of an intelligent, interactive bird with a big beak just meant for tearing things up. Socialize him. Provide a big cage and a LOT of out of cage and "daddy" time :-). Feed him well, love him with all your heart, and remember that this cuddly baby is, first and foremost, a wild animal who is dependent upon you to help meet his needs for as long as you're physically capable of caring for him.

May you both know decades of joy as you share your lives with each other.

We played with somebody tonight and i'm not telling She was fine and very well mannered Josh. Just a sweety but then you knew that

Remember I told you about Victory our Blue and Gold

My first macaw was a B&G!

Sweet as a button but ornery to a fault. His name was (real original here) Popeye.

He knew the sounds of mine and my eX's cars. When I'd pull up you hear some exciting whistles and tons of chattering. When I walked in the door he'd chatter away until I came over to let him out and give him some loving. When the eX's car pulled up you'd hear an agitated shrieking noise. Soon as the eX walked in he'd say "Hello butthead".

I've said before...I should have gotten rid of the eX sooner and kept the birds!

You're going to have a blast Josh!!
