Macaws! What, Where, How 

I love my green wing macaw! But if someone tells me they are thinking of buying a macaw I always recommend against it. It is nothing like owning a dog or cat, they are highly difficult, expensive and destructive creatures. They are exotic pets that need a whole habitat, not a cage in your room.

I used to work with a scarlet macaw who liked to tempt people to put their fingers in her cage by rubbing her face sideways along the bars and then as soon as they put their fingers in she would bite them and laugh. Pretty funny actually.

Q: what are macaws? A: LOUD

I LOVE how specific this episode was. This is going to so helpful for a lot of kids and parents that are home schooling right now.

A macaw is a hyperactive, resourceful toddler equiped with a bolt cutter and built-in megaphone. And that for ~50 years.

they are the size of a hawk, the personality of a dog, and is a rainbow.

Can I just say I love the breakdown of familys and genuses (geni?) on these vids? It's like an evolutionary countdown. Edit: Also, a shoutout to the editing, the timing at 11:13 on Joy's feathers relaxing is perfect for Jessi's description. Great work as always, folks!

To me it's kind of like taking care of a feathered two year-old

"flight training is a great way to give a captive macaw a good life" - pictured a macaw in ww2 aviator goggles

I love birds but I responsible enough to know that they aren’t the right pet for me

Hey, a small mistake at 1:54. It's actually a sun conure!

Great video, but for anyone wanting to own a parrot I would suggest watching 'Parrot Confidential', some of which you can find on youtube. It's a documentary that goes through the reality of owning parrots, and some of the places where they end up if people buy them and end up not being able to look after them :( It really sends a strong message that parrots shouldn't be kept as pets, unless they're rescues.

omGosh Joy looks so good! her feathers are so pretty and her patches look so much better

Macaws have always been my favorite kind of bird.

3:55 "OK yeah that's great, love listening to my human school you, but meanwhile, and more importantly, let's get some more chips or nuts going in here" ... 4:58 YEAH THAT'S BETTER

Yes, thank you so much for this video! Please do post more vids on your birds they are my absolute favorite! ❤️

1:54 that's not a Lovebird. It's a juvenile Jenday Conure (Aratinga jandaya)

Perfect timing! I start an internship next month and some of the animals I get to work with are macaws so it’s cool to learn more about them. Thanks!

Thank you, Jessie! Joy and Scarlett are my favorite!

I remember decades ago, I was in school outdoors for PE class in El Salvador. The teacher was telling the class something boring so I looked up into a tree close by. There was a huge flock of small parrots. They were so colorful, playful and amazing.

Beauuuuutiful parrots and quite loud but playful and so much fun

Isn't 1:54 a conure, not a lovebird? This is basically a care guide for most parrots. Really good video, thanks!

THIS IS MY FAVORITE RU-vid CHANNEL

Jessie, it's so wonderful to see how much you respect and revere this species (and so many others!) Parrots are my favorite non-human companions. I have only cared for one, a dear cockatiel named Ruby, and I'm sad to say I didn't do a very good job 😔I did not know enough about healthy parrot diets at the time (20 years ago), and as a result Ruby ate only seeds and didn't live past two years. I will never forgive myself for his early death, and I'd decided never to try to keep another parrot in captivity... until I began watching your channel 3 years ago. You have given me so much new knowledge, confidence, and hope, that I am hoping to one day, soon, begin to think about taking care of a new parrot species! You are the BEST! Thank you for helping me heal and enlightening me--and so many others! ❤️

As a bird owner for over 22 1/2 yrs I love all kinds of birds and animals..but I have had only cockatiels and parakeets and they are fun to own and watch especially when you can train them to talk.

Macaws are super cute, a couple live in a palm tree in front of my house, they are very loud animals, they always wake me up in the morning 😂

Awesome! Thanks for all the great information about parrots!

Beautiful birds with colour ful feathers

WOW ....Professor Jesse !!!!! Impressive

Wow I’m early lol. So here’s a joke. What ya get when a sheep, a drum and a snake falls of a cliff. Ba-dum-tss lol ik it’s bad but still. Woot lol.

My parrot loves watching your vids with me

I feel bad sometime when I have to leave for work and my macaw will miss me. At least i can spend most of the day with him

I love Joy 😍

I know this was your first solo video and I just wanted to say thank you! This kind of content always makes me smile and in these uncertain times that makes all the difference. Thanks for striving to make new content. You did great!

Love macaws I used to work at a shop with one

Love your videos❣ You are so kind to help all those animals thankyou for doing so much good🙏 PS: would love more Budgies videos!💕 Be safe💗

The pet shop near me have a scarlet macaw and I love to go visit him on the weekend! He’s just beautiful and it’s so easy to read his behavior. They have another not for sale bird called Pauli’s and they’re very playful they’re an Amazon. They also have a lot of conure, budgies, finches, cockatiels and 2 eucalyptus parrots

I might not have a bird, bu I love your videos! All of them!

Thank you for your upbeat video's and lots of good information

Yay a vid about macaws! Thank you for making the video I asked for!

Thanks Jessi ..great video:)

I knew macaws ate clay off cliffs (who hasn't seen those awesome pictures of hundreds of brightly-colored birds clinging to the side of a rock face?), but I didn't know that was why. When you think about it, it's kind of amazing. Some time ago, one of them had to have randomly eaten clay, AND realized it didn't get sick, or got less sick after eating unripe fruit. It had to make a connection between 2 time-spaced events. Not only that, but this information was then shared with rest of the flock, and then on to entire species.

I noticed Joy's slight lack of feathers around the front of her neck, I hope her anxiety is doing ok :)

Would love to have heard about their lifespan! But wonderful vid!

Loll love when they edited a sun conure as a lovebird

Wow! That was a wonderfully informative video, thank you so much! Loved it.

Very useful indeed

I love seeing other people's birds, but they sure aren't the pet for me! My brother's wife (and I suppose now my brother) has a very sweet budgie and I like seeing her. But I'd still prefer a more snuggly pet and one I don't have to be quite as gentle and careful with as I would with a bird

Yussss, my favorite series!

Cool i love macaws

YAY JESSI ❤️❤️❤️ missed you on the channel

I am making fanart of Scarlet right now because I love her

I have a lovebird and birds are very butefull,, as pets and your bff forever

Such beautiful birds! 😍💖

great info

Amazing

I found out my bird needed a special UV light to keep her healthy. Is this true of all types of birds in captivity? Thanks for sharing - birds rock!

Jesse, I want a shirt of my own like that! I love crows!

Amazing video

I have two Sun Conures and I'm pretty sure that Jenday Conure at 2:30 is actually a Sun Conure. A Jenday should have way more green feathers on it's back and wings, shouldn't it..? ...🤔😅 My parents have two free flight trained blue&gold macaws - and one day me and my sister (who currently has a Galah Cockatoo and an Indian Ringneck) will own them since we're their godmothers - and I agree with everything you've said! 👍 They're awesome, sure, but they really do need the right people to care for them! 🦜💛💚 ⚠️ They're like three year old kids with ADHD... who never grow up and can seriously harm you with their beaks. You need to seriously think about if you really want this and if you're honestly ready for this lifelong commitment! So please, do NEVER impulse buy those kinds of animals (...or any animal, but specifically exotic ones)! 🦜⚠️ There are other ways to learn how to interact with birds and care for them though - like volunteering in a shelter! 👍🐦🐣🐥💚

Ive been waiting for this video aaa!!

Big beauties. That's just right.

I'd love to see a macaw in real life! Any kind of parrot, really; from parrotlets up to hyacinth macaws! I just love parrots!❤❤❤❤❤

Very Cool!!

Gorgeous. Awesome video

Does it say lovebird next to a conure? My conure and I love your videos ❤❤

Love the t-shirt.

1:53 (Slight correction): That's not a lovebird, but a juvenile Sun conure (Aratinga solstitialis)...an endangered species native to South America, twice the size of their much smaller African relatives.

Kea parrots!!!! Yayy

Animalwonders montana i have a question I want to get pet fox so can you train them not to urine in the house or potty train if yes Make a video about it

I was wondering why my Green Cheek Conure will not bath if the water is not cold. Thank you for clarifying this to me!

I love the bird videos! More birds!

Jessi you are so cool.

1:54 that isn't a lovebird, it's a conure.

Hi, even if someone has the time to take care and entertain a macaw (or any other parrot, conure etc.) 24/7, I'd still advise against keeping the bird alone. A human will never be an appropriate substitute for a bird companion. So, if you really want a macaw, get 2... BTW: 1:56 - That's not a love bird... 😀

I love your chanel! Please do the same type of video for lovebirds

I really wanna see a horse on your channel. I love horses

Never gets old watching my friends macaw peel a grape without popping it

that greenwing named Scalet. haha

I love this series so much! Can you do one on the sugar gliders?

A birds behavior depends on there owner correct me if im wrong please

Do they eat the insects and small vertebrates on purpose, or just because they happen to be on a leaf or fruit or whatever they actually want?

Great work, always look forward to new vids from you :) btw, that was a conure, not a lovebird ;) whoopsie lol

Half moon next pleaseee

thx!! I'm thinking about adopting one and letting it Rome free in my house with fake branches atc

2:29 that Jenday Conure is actually a Sun Conure.

I don't know anything about birds and am curious to know how to take care of them.

There's a great RU-vid channel called Bird Tricks. They have a few macaws and birds and work with macaws or other birds that are struggling in some way! I highly recommend them if you're looking into owning one

Should my conures showers be cold too? I usually use room temp or warm

Why are your birds bald on neck and legs? Are they missing something in their diet or have an illness? Just curious.

"Socialization is very important for Macaws, who spend most of their life socializing with their flockma" Macaw: *H i*

YESSSSSSS

❤️❤️❤️

Hi, I'm savvy and I'm actually thinking about getting a quaker parrot in a few months (if my dad lets me) if I do end up with one, do you have any tips?

I love those birds but I'd hate to have one

can you edit the slide that has a conure and change it to parakeet or conure

Do macaws help pollinate? Because in the wild they are spreading around nuts and seeds.

Macaws Long-tailed is male or female?

2:30 thats a sun conure...

1:54 erm, it's not a lovebird, it's a conure and you definitely know it, Animal Wonders ;)
