Original price was: $1,680.00.$899.00Current price is: $899.00.
Blue Throated Macaws is generally a friendly, outgoing, and cuddly companion. In some respects, their personalities are much like cockatoos. When hand-fed as babies and properly tamed, Blue Throated Macaws tend to form extremely strong bonds with their owners that last a lifetime. They are also known to be one of the most affectionate parrot species and are sometimes called ‘velcro’ birds.
As with any macaw, the decision to add one to your family should not be taken lightly. They are large birds that require large enclosures, a well-rounded diet, and lots and lots of toys. Ideally, the minimum cage size for this size bird is 42″x32″x75″ with a 1″ bar spacing. A Blue Throated Macaw can make an excellent family companion.
Blue Throated Macaw Parrots
Blue-throated macaws are large colorful parrots native to Bolivia. Blue Throated Macaw Parrots are one of the rarest in the world. Their upper parts are turquoise–blue, slightly duller on the crown, and brighter on the rump. Underparts are largely bright yellow, but the vent is pale blue. These Birds have bare facial patches obscured by blue feather lines merging into blue lower cheek and throat, separated from the crown by a narrow yellow stripe and bare pink skin around the base of the large, black bill. Despite being plentiful in captivity, these beautiful and intelligent birds are critically endangered in the wild and are protected by trading prohibitions.
Blue-throated macaws are the rarest species of macaws in the wild. They are rather popular in the pet trade. They are kept as pets widely because of their vivid coloring and friendly characteristics.
Blue Throat Macaws are beautiful birds. They have a bright blue face, neck, and back. Their chest is a stunning golden-yellow color. Blue Throats are slightly smaller than Blue and Gold Macaws. Blue Throats are known to have strong personalities, a home that offers time, patience, and commitment would do very well with a Blue Throat.
These beautiful birds are highly sought after as pets. They are inquisitive, intelligent, and cheerful. The finer nuances of how to deal with a pet blue-throated macaw are discussed below.
Housing
These large macaws need to be provided with as large a cage as one can afford. Their 3 feet long wingspan necessitates a spacious enclosure with a lock or an escape-proof latch. They need to have enough room to move about freely. Minimum dimensions are 5’X5’X8’, but the larger, the better. The cage should be built with strong wiring. Provide perches, toys, and chewable and regular, chewable branches for the bird’s enrichment. Let the bird out of its cage for at least 2 hours a day.
Temperament & BehaviorÂ
They are very social birds in the wild and hold on to this trait even when kept as a pet. They enjoy being in the company of people as well as other birds and are rarely seen getting aggressive. They are also very self-sufficient and can keep themselves entertained for long hours. They are suitable as a family bird as they can gel well with all members of the family. They do, however, retain some macaw instincts and can be nippy on seldom occasions. Socialize your bird with many people from a young age so that it stays friendly.
Feeding
Blue Throated Macaw Parrots should be given a pellet or seed mix on a daily basis. You can also feed them any nutritious food you eat. Occasionally giving them chicken can fulfill their need for protein. Do not give them chocolate and avocado as those can prove fatal for the bird.
Care
They come from a humid habitat in the wild, so ensure that they are bathed every day either in a birdbath or through a mist spray. You can also take them with you when you take a shower. The water should be at room temperature.
Clip the nails and beak every two months.
Clean the food and water dishes in the cage with regularity.

Sulphur Crested Cockatoo Parrot
Original price was: $2,190.00.$760.00Current price is: $760.00.Add to cartSulphur-Crested cockatoos are large white parrots with yellow feathers on their crest (hence the name Sulpher-crested) and yellow wash under their wings. It is quite difficult to distinguish male from female Cockatoos at a distance as they look remarkably similar. The only major difference is that females have red-brown eyes, whereas males have darker brown eyes. Then again… you might have to rethink whether getting exceedingly close to a Cockatoo is worth it as it may decide to peck you with their impressive beaks!

Great place to get a baby!

She is just the sweetest and if you have any questions he readily answers it. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and friendly! If you’re figuring out where to get your baby I would recommend coming here 😊
