It must be said here that a Macaw Parrot is commonly big in size, and it will need a large cage a floor to ceiling cage will work well, failing that an area in a house such as a sun room will give your large parrot room to move and explore and you can load it with lots of interesting toys and an eviroment to will stimutlate your pet.

You can not deal with the exporter directly as this may lead to many problems, although this method is commonly practiced in the eastern countries.I have always admired these entertaining and lovely Parrots but up until recently have had very young children living with me so I felt I would be unable to give my full attention to a Macaw but as all my young have flown the coop so to speak, I will have to revisit my decision on the Macaw Parrot.
