The 2 Best Macaws Money Can Buy

This post is all about the wonderful Macaw. Whenever someone asks me what type of bird they should think about getting, I just struggle thinking of one good reason not to get a Macaw, especially when even if size is a concern, their are breeds like the Severe Macaw, who embody all the spirit of a Macaw, but in a smaller package. So for starters, I wanted to give you some Blue And Gold Macaw Facts that every parrot owner should know. The Blue and Gold Macaw, has the best temperament of any of the Macaw species. They are at a lesser risk for plucking their feathers than Cockatoos, or African Greys, and they are more loving than the scarlet, or Green wing Macaw. But that doesn't mean you should leave the Severe Macaw out of the question. If you're looking at purchasing a Macaw, but can't decide on which species to purchase... and size is an issue... the Severe macaw is Much smaller, and has the same type of temperament as the Blue and Gold. This makes the Severe Macaw a perfect pet for those of you who might live in an apartment, duplex or condominium and are low on space. But one of the greatest reasons you should consider a Macaw when trying to decide which breed of parrot you would like to bring into your family, is the ease of taming. Some people may say I'm full of crap, but hear me out first... I've used several techniques for training macaws, and the first one that I made very popular was a technique I call "the perching method". This method uses two wooden dowels to pet an aggressive parrot, getting him used to being touched, but without you having to risk losing a finger. Now this method works VERY well on Macaws, but now so well on other species... and it's for one reason. The perching method works on birds that would rather attack you, and lunge at you, then run away and hide. And that's exactly how an untamed Macaw acts, VERY aggressive. But in my opinion it's an easier behavior to fix, then fixing a more timid scared bird's behavior, and spending the time overcoming fears. Don't get me wrong, there's a TON of value in working with a timid bird, but it's a slower process for sure. Plus be sure to check out the links on this post, to get a little more information on the Severe Macaw, or the Blue and Gold. That's all for now! Cheers...
