After watching several of your videos now I so hope that you are doing educational talks out in public with your birds. You're charismatic and you are knowledgeable and humble and the amount of empathy and passion you have for these birds is incredible. You brought me to tears a couple of times. Please, please if you don't speak publicly about everything that you say online about owning parrots and how they should be wild and free and how difficult it is to have them please do so. Please talk to people face to face. I know you've got a huge social media following and that brings me so much joy. The impact you can have with animals right in people's faces is even larger. I so appreciate what you're doing. I can't say that enough. My gratitude for you is overwhelming.

Our Shamrock macaw is so ridiculously high energy. I didn't realize how crazy he is until I saw this video where Mikey and Mia actually sit still for minutes at a time and willingly go back into their aviary for bedtime. Your birds actually get tired at the end of the day! Hopefully one day we can get ours focused enough to fly outdoors. That could be why there is such a big difference between my bird and yours.

Flight helps for sure, but diet is a huge part of it, when our guys had a bunch of fruit, and ultra processed foods they were always unsettled, they are so much more calm and chill now on a raw wholefood varied diet

@Mikey The Macaw & Friends Ours is on a good diet. He gets harrison's pellets and sprouts in the afternoon and the birdtricks seasonal chop in the morning (usually beans, squash or sweet potato, carrots, tubers like raddishes, and leafy greens if you aren't familiar). I genuinely appreciate the advice, though. I've considered trying your dry mix, but with most dry mixes, he just dumps them out so we are sticking with fresh for now. I guess he's just naturally hyper.

I now have 3 macaws. My girl picked up what we thought was a plucking issue after the death of our bonded cockatiels so I took in a pair of Macaws and she is sooooo happy and it’s super fun sharing our lives with our feathered family. These birds are so demanding but we knew this wayyyyyy before committing to ownership and we knew the work would harden when we took two more in but we do both work from home and we’re fast workers so we have plenty of time to give them everything they need plus more (the three of them joined us on Date Night tonight). They help us make new toys for their indoor aviary.

Granted I know I'm lucky because he stays in his zone and doesn't tear up the house. He tears up his stuff. It's an acceptable compromise lol. As for my puppy, all my Christmas gifts were of stuff she chewed and ruined and needed to be replaced.

I was thinking since you guys are so good at producing very entertaining videos I was wondering if you all had considered writing a series of children's story books on the lives of the two birds. Another idea i just thought of was, if you guys could also put together an on-line book on how to raise macaws. I have seen other people that take their hobby and they publish an on-line book and they charge a fee to download a copy. 'Cause once you write it and put it out there, you guys don't have to do anything after that. I know your lives are pretty hectic already so these are just suggestions. Remember to continue to enjoy your lives. I wish I had grown up in the UK rather than the US. The US is too wild for me and I love your accents. So polished and refined.

I'm surprised you don't have more specific areas that are easier to clean for the birds. I did notice you have few carpeted areas - nothing worse than trying to keep carpet clean with free roaming parrots wandering around the house! I've had my pet African Greys for decades - Farful is my oldest pet and was born in 1986. Like all my pets, Farful has been with me since the day he hatched. My other 3 pet greys are a little younger. I used to breed parrots but gave it up when I realized that most people can't make the commitment to keep their birds through the years. The problem I'm faced with now is finding a place for whichever birds outlive me. My husband passed away from cancer last year; my kids are grown, living out of state and even starting to plan their own retirement! But here I am, me and my bird friends who remain like preschoolers year after year. I used to joke that parrots are like kids who never ask for college tuition and never borrow the car...almost 40 years later, it remains true.

They actually very very rarely will poop on the carpet, they prefer the floors which is great. And yea, their life span is such a worry.
