||||
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||

Training
|

Macaws that aren't properly handled could become territorial, aggressive, or destructive. The boredom of a macaw can lead to feather picking, which is a form of self mutilation. To avoid boredom, provide an array of toys with textures and multiple perches. To avoid damage to feathers caused by boredom, choose toys that simulate preening. If you observe these behaviors then consult an experienced vet or avian behaviorist.

Young macaws that are raised by hand are able to adapt to new surroundings and training. Introduce them to new people, car trips, hospital visits, as well as other pets (including cats and dogs) and other birds at an early age. These birds are easily influenced and require constant handling at an early age to prevent them from developing relationships with one person. If this happens, parrots will often scream for attention and may begin to bite. Discipline, leadership and patience are essential to change these behaviours.

|
||||
Larger macaws such as the Blue and Gold, Scarlet, Military and Hyacinth are more prone to developing behavioral issues as they grow older. Hormonal imbalances can cause anxiety and depression.
