  • Hey flockers,
    In today's video we are discussing the body language of baby macaws, baby blue and gold macaw behaviours you may not understand, baby macaw moulting, baby macaw weaning and hand feeding baby macaws plus lots of other things. When we first got Shelby our baby blue and gold macaw there were not a huge number of videos surrounding baby macaw topics such as why is my macaw nodding his head, why is my macaw bobbing up and down slowly, why is my macaw wing flicking plus lots of other questions. We hope to answer some of your questions here!

      Hello I have a 9 month old macaw that still doesnt know how to eat pellets, is there anyway I can help it wean? I suspect it might have been forced weaned. Additionally I like to feel its crop to see if I should feed more and he likes to lift his foot up like a wave, what does that mean? He also lifts both wings up whenever he sees me, does that mean he is scared or happy to see me? He likes to taste my fingers alot isit because he wants to bite? Thank you!

      I don't own one and don't know much about them, and different birds / animals suit different people. Do lots of research to find out the best one for you!

    More detail about the consistency and temperature you were told to give her for her feed, timing of feed/s. She's just too adorable for words. My little girl arrives next week. Xx

    Hello
    I have a 2 yr old female blue and gold macaw today. Her name is Bella, I would like advise on how to show her not to bite. She becomes to excited and tries to bite. When she is lose she only wants to be on my shoulder, she does not stay on her stand or even go to it. Your advice would be very appreciated.

    How did you guys teach Shelby to shower? My 14 week old hates it

    • @ShelbyTheMacaw
      @ShelbyTheMacaw  Před 3 lety +2

      Birds can be trained to shower, by nature they are water lovers and enjoy showers, so be sure to make it a fun experience. Never use water as punishment. Start slowly and ensure there are plenty of treats. Try different things, maybe your bird prefers to play in the sink with the tap on? Try with a misting spray bottle. Or maybe they would prefer a bowl of water to play?

    First set of feathers aren’t the good ones, plus they’re very active. So they get damaged.
