I just wanted to start a thread on my loud mouth obnoxious good friend Saul my blue and gold macaw whos best friends are 2 cats named Catfood and Dandythey dont try and hurt each other and Saul has a walk in closset to himself. cats are alowed supervised visitation. When he is on a purch the cats sleep under him right in the drop zone.lol do any of you have any storys about these interesting birds
 
get some pics up. my uncle has tried breeding the blue and golds, but the first chick had to be put down :(
 
My girlfriend had a blue and gold macaw named charlie...He was the sweetest bird ever! I loved that thing soooo much. One day she came home from school and he was laying on the bottom of the cage breathing real hard and not moving. They immidatly rushed him to the vet but unfortunatly he died in her arms on the way to the vet. Poor guy was only 8 years old. It was a complete shock and nobody ever knew what happened.

8 is very, very young. They can live longer than us, I would have had an autopsy done on Charlie to see what happened. My buddy max is almost 40! He works with me and we have been buddies for a few years.

Well he died on the way to the vet so they just turned around. The whole family was devestated and I even miss the little guy. It is soo bazare how he just kinda suddenly died....They didnt get an autopsy but apparantly the vet said that it could be some virus that was sent here from the hurricanes or something like that. He said alot of birds were dying like that...?

any toy ideas for b&g macaws. mine likes to tear up stuff like tupperware containers but also likes toys my kids outgrow. and those of you who cant afford a bird jungle gym go to lowes and build one out of PVC pipe. I did one for under $20 and the same thing at a pet shop would set me back about 10x that
 
roybryan,

Max loves mirrors and pinatas, but most of all. Attention
