@@ElementalSerenity if they react like that you MUST respect their body. They must ask or in some cases beg to get scratched. I just rub my fingers over the spot usually behind ears,under jaw and other places they can’t reach with their own beak. I call it “fluffy bird” 🤷🏼♀️🦜🦜
Definetly one of the cutest and calmest macaws I've ever seen. He is absolutely perfect and seems to love you a lot. Congratulations on being such a good mom to them!
I’ve heard Scarlett macaws tend to be nippy. Have you found that to be true? They are stunning colors. We saw them in the wild in Jinetes de Osa Costa Rico. They have no fear or interest in humans, just lots of almond trees that they feed on when in season.
@@LeylaaQ I have a Blue & Gold macaw she’s 33 and I rescued her at 10 months old. She’s just now getting how to touch the humans nice. I can actually play with my hand in her mouth and she understands now how to play without breaking my skin! She was young and impressionable living with a mature macaw. She didn’t understand how to touch humans nice. 😉
@@W-I463 Because it's so spoiled. It has a much easier life here with its owner to provide most of its needs. If it got released or even if it grew up in the wild, it would have to fend for itself and might not survive.
Bird seems just fine and well taken care of. While I get what you're saying, this isn't a wild caught bird. It was bred in captivity, probably generations down from pet parrots. One could say the same thing about cats, dogs, horses, guinea pigs. Pet parrots have been kept for millenia. All the while, the rain forests of South America are being cleared to supply humans' voracious appetite for beef. So, no, the bird would not be safer in the wild. It would have higher odds of being BBQ'd in a forest clearing. Perhaps cry for the trees instead of the spoiled pet parrot amd stop eating cheese burgers?
