The Hyancith Macaw of South America is the largest by length in the world, measuring 3. Because of the problems stemming from illegal international trade of the species for commercial purposes, if you wish to own a Macaw as a pet, it is best to buy only captive and bred Macaw's with all of the proper certifications and paperwork. Some illegal traders will try to sell wild birds as captive bred birds, which is illegal.
What do Macaws eat The diet of a Macaw bird includes a wide variety of foods including fruits and nuts, flowers, leaves and seeds. Some wild Macaw's are also known to be able to digest some toxic foods, and they neutralize this by eating clay, usually from river banks.
Macaws generally have a lot of energy, and if they do not get enough exercise and allowed to fly around, they might become obese if their food intake is too high or fatty. Macaws require a varied diet not only to boost their immune system, but also to make captive life less boring and monotonous. Since only wild Macaw's can digest toxins and neutralize it by eating clay, you must be sure to not feed your bird anything toxic to them, such as avocados. It is best to feed your bird a formulated mix of parrot food that comes with added vitamins.
You should still supplement the parrot food with seeds, nuts and fruit. You can also serve your bird very small portions of vegetables or cooked chicken. While Macaws come in several different sizes, the larger the cage you buy for them the better off they will be.

If your bird isn't given a chance to be active and exercise, move and fly around, then its body will deteriorate and lose muscle mass. Macaws also love to stay clean and preen thenselves, so giving them a little shallow dish of water as a makeshift bathtub for them to bathe in will help. Clean water and food dishes for your bird must be a daily routine to keep, but cleaning the perches and cage floor can be a weekly chore. It is also best to clean the entire cage maybe once or twice a year.
To keep the bird's beak in shape, it's also a good idea to keep a small mineral block in the cage. You possibly may need to trim the beak of your bird if it becomes deformed or overgrown. The same goes for the bird's nails. You might need to trim them manually if they aren't kept trim, which is best accomplished by having some sort of concrete or mineral block in the cage.
Macaw Toys Macaw's are very intelligent birds that come with a sociable and curious personality. If they are bored or deprived of attention, they can become depressed rather easily. Macaw's can be very playful and boisterous, and can not only mimic the sounds of their owner and other people, but they can mimic just about any sound in their surrounding environment.
To help keep your bird entertained and happy, it is important they they have at least a couple of toys or activities to do.
There are toys available that may mimic what the bird may do in the wild, such as forage packs. They are little boxes filled with nesting material that you can add your bird's favorite food or treats to, and you can let them forage for it like they would in the wild. Other large bird toys include swings and birdie bagels made of non-toxic cardboard that they can tear into and shred to their delight.
Cheap bird toys can include old phonebooks, cardboard tubes and even scrap paper and boxes. What diseases do macaws get? Having good quality veterinary care for your bird is very important. Macaws do not get sick too much if they are properly cared for and fed the correct diet.
