A Life With Macaws
США
Добавлен 1 май 2010
Macaws are prey animals and will demand to sit on your arm, lap, or shoulder throughout the day and require feather preening, to hold their beak without fear, and duplicate the attention their mate does in the wild-your Macaw will expect you to read their body language so you will know what your Macaw needs at all time-Cages should be used for sleeping only, in a dark and quiet room, preferably a basement-Macaws will scream when they are hungry, thirsty, or needing your attention-Macaws require frequent cleaning of your home each day-Macaws require a healthy high-fat diet consisting of raw and unsalted nuts, a mixture of fresh fruits like apple, banana, grapes, and fresh vegetables like zucchini, yellow squash, and carrot
The best Macaw caretaker might be single, without children, cats, or a dog with bird drive, a person that works from home, and only leaves home for vacation when the Macaws go with them. Developing trust can create a lifetime companion that defies belief.
2-3-25 All Parrots Outside
68 Degree weather in February?
We can dance with that: sit outside, preen, chew on wood perches, scream for attention, and generally be Macaws.
Macaws scream when the feel neglected, need physical and emotional contact with their human mate, when they have been injured and are in pain, when another flock member has been injured, or when they are frightened, hungry, or thirsty.
Macaws perform similar instinctual behaviors in the wild.
Understanding the various reasons for Macaw screaming will help us better understand their instinctual needs throughout each day.
Most Macaws are re-homed because of their screaming, but the humans wanting to re-home them, were never educated by Macaw aviculturist...

After a major habitat redesign for Gomez my Greenwing Macaw Paco my female Harligold Macaw Paco, Kida my female Military Macaw, and my male Harlequin Macaw Carlos joined the celebration party.

This afternoon, Simon my Cockatiel joined Paco my Harligold Macaw, and Gomez my Greenwing Macaw in the kitchen as I grilled enough meat to last a few days. After years of childhood and adulthood a...

After selling my Rancilio Classe 5 espresso machine in 2024 and buying a Profitec Pro 800 lever espresso machine, I decided to learn how to use the bottomless portafilter that came with the Pro 800. After channeling or spraying espresso all over my kitchen began with my first attempt, it became obvious I needed to learn the next phase of espresso science called puck preparation.

Просмотров 14921 день назад
Macaws are not pets; they are lifetime companions that require their human to act similar to a mate in the wild. This can require more time for physical and emotional connection, space in your home, finances to feed them properly, and not taking vacations unless they go with you. Macaws require levels of these qualities most humans are not willing or able to provide for them. Screaming occurs w...
Espresso Advice Is Outdated, Everything Has Changed

After buying a Rancilio Classe 5 as my first machine in 2016, puck preparation was very minimal, and channeling rarely occurred. Buying a Profitec Pro 800 lever machine a year ago and switching to a bottomless portifilter, puck preparation became essential to prevent channeling. After numerous calls to tech support, I am now using a ECM Titan 64 grinder, a bottomless portafilter, an ECM tamper ...

Join Paco, Kida, Gomez as I demonstrate the importance of using a towel to wrestle and play with your Macaw. I use a towel to trim nails, perform exams, or if seeing your avian vet is necessary, so it is essential your Macaw is not afraid of a towel. This video was recorded back on 7-8-17 when Gomez was just 4 years old!
