Other than the actual physical care of each bird, food, living conditions, living space and exercise. Socialization may the most important word when talking about Macaw parrots or any parrot for the matter.
A Macaw is not able to socialize himself. A politician once said it takes a village to raise a child. Then it takes a state to socialize a Macaw. It takes a dedicated state of mind in the very least.
If you intend to buy a baby Macaw Blue And Gold or any large Macaw. It is highly recommended for everyone to do business with a trusted breeder if at all possible. The entire socialization process begins with the breeders. Around the sixteenth day after hatching most breeders begin hand feeding.
A baby Macaws eyes open about the nineteenth day of life. The importance of recognizing humans as the source of food, care, affection along with fun and entertainment can not be overstated. It is to our advantage if humans are perceived as all important and pleasing to a Macaw.
It is extremely important to understand before purchasing a Macaw. Dogs and cats are considered domesticated animals. Macaw parrots are not. Humans through their actions hand feeding, comfort,and care simply are associated as mom and dad then become members of the birds flock.
It is these processes of the breeders that get us off on the right foot. However it is extremely important that the process is continued and expanded consistently by new owners. The socialization process of a Macaw is a lifetime commitment and should not ever be discontinued.
Constant attention and handling from family members and your friends is all important. Introduction to new, different, places and situations is also a part of the socialization process.
Unfamiliar locations and situations are often the cause of a frightened upset bird. Subjecting a Macaw to different locations and situations early in life is every bit as important to you and the bird as is constant handling.
Macaws can be upset and frightened easily. Frightened or upsest Macaws can be a real handuful to deal with. As the owner of a Macaw it is a must that your bird trusts you in any and all locations and any situation.
It will be entirely up to you exactly how great your Macaw parrot will turn out. Remember both good behavior and bad behavior are learned. Nearly everything learned will be entirely up to you.
