You say they are bred for color? They are bred strictly for the money. These hybrids should not be happening and only disreputable breeders are doing it. My opinion.

Hyacinth macaws are the largest and one of the most endangered but I love them.

"Guapo" is my 19 yr. old Miligold Mccaw, I've had him since he was one month old. He is very good natured, allows anyone to hold him but I am the only one that can touch him. He doesn't bite and after his first couple years of screaming he has toned down and is now quite mello. The trick to a "quiet" McCaw is to start early socializing with lots of people and at least 3 hrs. a day out of the cage with you. We take lots of walks at the beach and he gets lots of attention which he loves. He talked more when he was younger but now may only repeat 7 or 8 words usually only to me. He loves to take a shower with me. He barks at dogs and meows at cats. He gets very excited around babies in strollers and gets very animated around them, hanging upside down and laughing.

If anyone can help I would sure appreciate it. I just adopted a male severe macaw who is 4 years old. He was with a family that broke apart and the woman couldn't keep him anymore. I have had cockatiels for years and was actually a breeder in Florida, so I thought nothing of taking on "Hank". I was a little wrong! I quickly learned what he likes to eat...check. He screams and I don't know why....uncheck. He refuses to let me pet him, hold him, climb onto my arm. I try and coax him with treats but I can't get this bird to trust me. She said he talks but all he says now is "OK". Is this just a transition period? Is there anything I can do to help the process along? I'm lost with Hank! You may email me if you want at eddie79@insight.rr.com

I was just given a Green Wing that is about 10 years old and has been mistreated. I got him 2 days ago. He is starting to talk to me but he has a biting problem. How can I get him to trust me and can he still learn new words even though he is this old?

I finally have a name for my hybrid. I tell everyone I have a half Green Wing Half Catalina Macaw. Now I can just say Flame. Thanks for the informative web site!

Well we just got our Macaw, his name is Stanley, we believe he is 5 years from what we have been told when we adopted him from his previous owners, they barely took him out of his cage and from what we can tell argued and cussed around him a lot cause our stanley cusses and is very shy, and bites a bit.... but he is coming around. We have had him for about 3 months now and it is taking a lot lot of time and TLC, but we think he is worth it.....
when he talks it's very clear and he has my Wife and kids trained very well it seems, he is taking to my wife as she is mostly around him which is a good thing cause he is Her bird, and Stanley gives my wife someone to argue with besides me hehehehehehehe.
