A Life With Macaws
Hello everyone! I am in the process of writing a book called A Life With Macaws...along with filming videos on some of the topics mentioned below...until the book is done and the videos are ready to be watched...please enjoy the articles and pictures on this website...please contact me if you have any questions!
Macaws are easily one of the most beautiful...funny...playful...and intelligent creatures on this Planet!
Join me and my Macaw crew Paco, Kida, and Gomez as we share our daily lives and research on how to live successfully with your Macaw...or Macaws for the more daring and courageous of you out there!
If you have never owned a parrot before...then considering a Macaw as your first choice might be a very unwise decision...PLEASE read the questions below and then re-think your decision...
If you can fulfill the requirements necessary to bring a Macaw into your home as a companion...the questions below will come up again and again...and these questions and many others we will discuss later...are are the reasons I started this blog...to prevent YOU from making a mistake that could break your heart...and the heart of the Macaw...remember...when a Macaw 'chooses you'...it is for life...and if and when you decide to 're-home' your Macaw...for the Macaw it is similar to you losing a loved one...a spouse...a child...or another companion animal...so PLEASE be careful...and consider what is truly required to add a Macaw to your life or the lives of your family members.
So...after explaining the seriousness of the decision to get a Macaw...or add another to your home...the following topics will be discussed in my new book:
There are many more questions that can be asked...but these are among the most important...and should be considered by anyone considering adding a Macaw to their life...and this book and videos will consider all of them...and demonstrate how to accomplish feeding, housing, showering, training, perch building and aviary design, kitchen design, cooking methods and foods, where to shop for food...and give suggestions and answers that are either difficult or impossible to find in most books on Macaws.
For those of us that have had Macaws for years...this blog will discuss issues that are common and require conversations and coaching from experienced breeders and caretakers that have had Macaws for many years.
These experienced breeders and caretakers are mentioned in the Thank You section above.
Thank you for loving your Macaw enough to continue your research and deepen your knowledge...both for your safety...and for their safety.
