Blue and Gold Macaw talking

[Underworldisis1]

@myfordranger-my ex-gf left me a cage & bird worth a small fortune & I am such an asshole I complain about it. Get in there grab that beak & kiss it, they bite less that way. Macaws are great but you gotta be an animal person they need Attn. & training! Find a bird person to try to find your bird a more suitable home sounds like neither of you are happy.

Did you polish this birdy's beak? How shiny black it is! LOVES IT...

[Underworldisis1]

@myfordranger-I am sorry but you NEVER keep a Macaw in a sealed room but right in the hub of the action. Mice come in for the food? Keep it in rubbermaid sealed containers & try sweeping under the cage a couple times a week. Get a fucking kitten, my bird has two cats with claws & they all adore one another...no mice. Get some live rodent bait traps. The bird needs attention sounds like your ignoring it. Yes they are messy but come on.

[myfordranger]

these birds are very loud! high mantenance!. i have a blue and gold that my ex girlfriend kind of left me so i keep it all these yrs. but now that im getting older i cant stand the noise! they just dont shut up. messy, mice come in the house for there food and my house is a nitemare sometimes when i start to clean. they dont like noise! unless your a true bird lover i wouldnt keep one unless the bird is far away in another closed seal proof room. take it from me my bird just doesnt shut up.;

[alexandrooona13579]

[music59]

are you ever afraid lipton will ever break your finger im getting a baby blue gold for christmas ive been waiting for one since i was 3 years old haha how much was lipton

[newimagedocuments]

@music59

Lipton was about 1,000 when we got him. They are alot like puppies in that they use their moouths (beaks) on everything including fingers, wrists, ears, so it is up to you to set the limits on what pressure is acceptable. He needs his beak like you need your fingers to do most of your tasks. I am able to put my hand in all 5 of our macaws beakswith no broken bones to this day! : ) YOU WILL LOVE BEING OWNED BY A MACAW!!!

[Shanedawsonfannumba1]

[nellie2581]

Talkative!

[JuggAl04LifE1]

[Bunny5O1]

careful cuz he may fly and smack the fan, and returns back onto ur face, and then ull end up with a dead macaw and a bloody nose.

[skaterkala22]

this is so cute

[pinkfairyhannah]

Lmao! is the first thing she says 'I Didn't do anything?!'

So cute!

[ofek3]

its really cool to know that birds are actually decadents of the dinosaurs

so you basically have a pet dinosaur

[airsoft921]

i love macaws and know alot about them but im 15 and planning on going to college so it would be extremely dificult to take care of

[diniguez59]

love your baby and enjoy every minute my baby died and I can still cant get over it he passed away 3 years ago he could sing roll over say whatever spanish bad words called me mama i miss him Bless You and Your baby macaw wish you the best

[Ella3552x]

very cute!

But I would advise you to perhaps turn off the fan if your parrot is fully flighted. :D

[mazzystar96]

ceiling fans....dangerous to parrots

[macanmllvr]

@mazzystar96 only if they are flighted...

[xirvin92]

hey guys im think im gonna get a parrot, not sure what kind yet, anyway can anyone give me name suggestions (for a male parrot)

[Sworddeath727]

My grandma used to have a macaw it was a nice bird. then my great grandma used to have one too that was foul mouthed and swore in different languages. all and all they are beautiful birds

[zozey1231]

LOL! I want a parrot!

[raiaan123]

wow Lipton's cute. I have five parakeets and two lovebirds. And I'm getting my scarlet macaw this week. This is really exciting. :) Heyy, how much do I have to spend monthly on her? Please let me know. :P

[newimagedocuments]

Welcome to the wonderful world of Macaws!!! I am so excited for you! If I were you I would budget for at least 150 a month. If you dont spend it then at least you will have some left over to put aside for emergency vet care etc. Post videos of your baby and let me know if you need any more advice! Good luck to your both!

[mohsin19999995]

lol it sounds like your having sex wit it. like at the end the way u say o thank u is just sounds disgusting women

[shellainaz]

So sweet... Macaws are a blast to have.

[jrmno1]

What a beauitful B&G, well cared for and loved. Keep up the work.

[sjknyc23]

he's so handsome! such sweet eyes

[DrShakalu619]

that is the best coloured macaw

[k0rc]

Please turn off your ceiling fans when your birds are free to fly.

[vince0o7]

im going to adopt one for free l0l

[playbassken]

Great bird! Our B&G is named Nakita and she's wonderful. Word to the wise, though, turn off or remove your ceiling fans if you value your bird(s). Trust me, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

[elkubabe]

haha in the end you said oh baby sounded funny

[godisheaven]

cute bird i want one but i heard they go in the 1200 to 2000 price range

[newimagedocuments]

They are expensive but that is just the tip of the iceberg. Cages cost as much as they do, and close to 600 a month in toys and food. Not to mention regular vet checks. So much like having a child it is scary! (Not the cage part LOL). If you are passionate enough about them, then it is well worth it!

[Eaglesfaninca]

Did you say you spend $600.00 a month on Lipton??? Wow!

Do you know anything about African Grey's?

[newimagedocuments]

I am sorry my post was not clear. I spend about 600 per month for the whole flock, not just Lipton (although I am sure he would love that!) I am guessing about 75/month per flock member when I make the toys and close to 150/month when I am buying all toys... As far as African Grey's I dont know much about them because I am allergic to their dust (along with the cockatoos and tiels). I can put you in touch with someone if you would like...

[Eaglesfaninca]

Oh OK... How many do you have?

Your birds are beautiful.

I have owned nothing more than a parakeet, and I am wondering if i even have enough "bird experience" to even get a bigger bird.

[newimagedocuments]

Thanks for the compliment. There are 7 members to our flock including 5 macaws and 2 eclectus. The fact that you are even worried about having enough experience leads me to believe your heart is in the right place. In my opinion having enough TIME, LOVE, and COMMITTMENT is more important than experience, especially if you can read and have a good support network of bird people who can help along the way! : ) .

[Eaglesfaninca]

I have been reading up on it. And it seems there is alot to know. Like even the fumes of non stick cookware can be fatal. Is that true? Wow!

It is a big commitment, I have heard that some macaw's have lived to be over 100 years old. African Grey's live to be 50. You have to respect the seriousness of a commitment like that.

How old our your birds?

[parrotguy32]

Large Parrots are very fun pleasing pets, but they require A LOT of time and attention. Greys can live to be even older than 50, they are quite possibly one of most amazing parrots out there though. Yes, teflon in pots and pans will kill your birds. If you leave your windows open and have serious ventiation, it can be avoided, but is still a risk. It's better to buy stainless steel and not have to worry. Good luck.

[thecrazyglopss]

where do you buy those in north carolina

[newimagedocuments]

I am not sure where they are in North Carolina but I do know that the breeders we buy our babies from ship all over the country!!

[inneedoftherapie]

Lipton is beautiful and such a sweet voice.
