Hello, I am looking to buy a female white-capped pionus that is 5+years old. My male is 10 years old and has been my pet. He has been letting me know for the past couple of years that he would like a mate so here I am. If you or if you have any suggestions where I might find a mature female WC would you please take a minute and let me know? It would be greatly appreciated. To contact me quickly send a text to 402.276.4646 thank you, Michael

Macaws are very loud, very loud!!! They make poor pets. When you buy one, nobody will buy it when you want to sell it!!! Believe me. I’m stuck wit one.

You can train them to speak, as they only scream when they want attention. if you ignore them when they scream and only give them attention when they say a word/whistle/hum or really do ANYTHING but scream, it will condition them to stop screaming because they only get affection whenever they speak or hum. It definitely takes time and patience but its worth it in the end. If you still have your bird, id offer to buy her/him... email me or sum. emmagunter00@gmail.com

We have a bonded pair of Ruby Macaws. They are mating but as of this try the eggs aren't fertile yet. Time will tell. Is a Ruby X a Ruby still a Ruby? Or another name?

We are having the same problem. Other macaws are laying fertile eggs, but for some unknown reason, the ruby eggs have been infertile,despite all factors being identical for our other macaws. Did your situation ever change positive?

Ight guys time to teach you some middle school science. I hybrid cannot reproduce. A ruby macaw really isn't a separate species just a hybrid. Therefore it cannot reproduce.

Most parrots but cockatoos more than any others NEED attention. They crave attention and demand it from their humans. They are very social and to them you are their whole world. You are their flock, their mate, their friend. They are about equivalent to a 3 year old human chikd in their need to be with their human. You can spend time with your Ella while she is on her perch and you share your supper with her - or your breakfast. You can spend time with her watching TV. You need to spend time with her providing attention and playing. If she doesn't get the attention she is going to pluck, she will keep screaming and will probably be very depressed. You need to decide to devote the time for Ella - for the next 50 years or so --- or to find a suitable home for her. She is young, tame and wants to be loved and there should be no problem finding a new family for her but she can't be stuck in a cage without socialization and companionship. It would be like putting yourself in solitary confinement. Ella knws you are home and will make big noises to get your attention. She is calling her mate her flock. They just can't take isolation.

Take her out.

Hi I am not sure what you mean by ' I have grown up' That statement would usually be followed by you saying that undoubtedly you realise that her being out of cage ONLY 3 hours is not nearly enough and that you have started to spend more time with her. Here it seems exactly the opposite and I'm seeing a bit of has as to you finding or wanting to find the time to spend with your bird. Cockatoo are extremely sensitive and very much like humans when it comes to needing to be interacted with and feeling the touch and love of there owner in order to live a happy productive life. It seems like you have a bird that does want that interaction of a human and companionship which is already a big hurdle a good advance in the right direction. If you do not give her the time and attempt she craves she may actually regress and will not online one depressed but will have to learn all over again that touch and human companionship is a good thing.A parrot is a lifetime commitment and absolutely should not be a quick decision just because you see one and see how cute or smart they cannot does not mean they automatically come like that.they have bad behaviours like any other animal and since they are so smart are easily imprinted on and sadly affected by neglect,as well as definitely need Alot more time than a hamster .you cannot just leave a parrot in the corner with some toys and bring him. Or her out when it suits you. This will definitely cause depression and even aggression that will come very noticeably in the form of plucking and evening due to resentment. It is not fair or even practical for somebody to own a parrot before doing your research and prepare your self for both good and bad . The thing is that parrots are wild animals and they are going to always be instinctively that.thereis no such thing as a bad parrot just BAD OWNERS. You may have just impulsively bought this bird and have not been correctly educated and now you have your hands full. Right now it sounds like your bird still wants human interaction and is wanting to be loving so it will be extra easy to find someone who has experience with large birds to take in this one.please do yourself and this bird a favour and find a home in which he or she will thrive in. Don't feel bad about doing what's best for the animal.nobody can call you a bad owner if you give the bird up for the sake of its happiness but if you decide to keep this bird and do not find adequate time and education to give it a better quality of life that is when you can be considered a bad person
