Two hours of a great time! Chance really thrives as the center of attention. I don't let others hold him because he can be unpredictable, but he absolutely loves showing off. He's always says, “look, look, look!" 😂

Did you know macaws need a minimum cage requirement of “40 in x 30 in x 60"?

If you cannot fit a minimum of 5 (properly sized) macaw perches in your cage and 2/3 toys and your bird comfortably sits in it, it is too small. Bar spacing for a macaw should be 1 inch!!! They should not be able to easily bend them. Macaws need space; they need room to turn around, flip around, dance around in, and comfortably be able to move from food and water to their sleeping area, perch, and toys! Bigger is better! It can never hurt to go bigger. Getting the tallest cage and not getting width is the biggest mistake I see people making. Birds will always gravitate to the highway area they can; it’s programmed in their heads. Unfortunately, the cheaper the cage is usually means it’s not a good deal money-wise or comfort-wise for your parrot. (There can be exceptions). Most macaws have an average wingspan of 3 feet; putting them in a small cage limits them to even stretching. Imagine if you got out of bed and couldn’t stretch. Let alone imagine being locked in bed almost all the time. Yes, there’s exceptions. I don’t cage my macaw. I know phenomenal owners that birds live in aviaries or are out all day, but in most cases they don’t. Statistically, “most” birds only get 1-3 hours a day out of their cage, and I know many that get none. If you want an exotic animal, do it right! It’s worth the investment! Having your macaw in a smaller, less stimulating cage all day can cause many problems, including but not limited to plucking, barbering, screaming, and aggression!

Just because you’ve done something for 30 years and it’s been “fine” doesn’t mean it is statistically, morally, or ethically right. Before you give backlash, don’t stop someone from doing things right for the next 30 years!

Fun Fact Friday

Bird toys play an important role in the physical, mental, and emotional well being of parrots. While some may perceive birds as simple creatures and think they just need food and water, they are not, they need much more than that to really thrive. They have very complex behaviors and instincts that require stimulation and enrichment to truly thrive in captivity. Bird toys help promote physical activity and exercise in captive birds. In the wild birds spend a lot of their time doing activities like foraging for food, exploring, and flying. But in captivity birds usually have limited opportunities for exercise, leading to sometimes what us humans consider negative behavior and potential health problems such as obesity and muscle atrophy. Bird toys provide a way for parrots to get physical activity. By having birds swing, climb, manipulate objects and much more not only does it help promote cardiovascular health, muscle development, and overall physical fitness, it also helps them be mentally stimulated and if you can rotate them weekly it helps them even more!

For my local clients I highly recommend Parrot Outreach Society and Perky Pets for all your toy needs!
