Why Get A Big Macaw When You Can Get An Incredible Mini Macaw?

[@HaasSpitta]

Emerald demands so much attention but she is so adorable I want to give everything to her 😭

[@ParrotBliss]

Ah, she’s got you in her web! Yes, she can be demanding but a dream at the same time.

Wonderful video. I adore Hahn’s Macaws and Noble Macaws. Personally I find their coloration beautiful. Thank you for sharing your experience with Emerald.😊

[@ParrotBliss]

They are all so beautiful and unique! Hugs to Charlie!

My Hahn's Macaw, Lucy has no interest in toys either. She also bites the back of my shirts like yours does. One interesting thing about Lucy is that she never poops on me. Never. She will fly to her perch or her cage and poop there and then fly back to me. She will also poop in the toilet if I hold her above it. She LOVES to play in boxes or in grocery bags, and when we watch TV she likes to crawl up my shirt and nap there. Hahns are known to be biters, but the bites aren't really aggressive it's just in their personality to bite.

[@ParrotBliss]

Now that you mention it, I don’t think Emerald has ever pooped on me either. She does text at noon with her Pink, I believe, claiming me as her own. No fun, but not deliberately painful. She just wants to be loved!

Hi, I have a 1 year old Hanhs Macaw. We love him very much but he bites alot, doesnt like visitors coming to our house, if an unknown person to him comes over he will scream as loud as he could. It gets annoying at times. Any suggestions on how i can get him to stop biting us ? Please help.

[@ParrotBliss]

Try watching these 2 videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKiUl6KfmsypfLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKGtg2qEnp16kMU See if that helps - I'll make a new video for parrots that are young or beak (biting without cutting skin) Yes, parrots don't like strangers. Hopefully you don't have people over too often - if it is people that visit regularly he should get used to them. Work on training - it creates a common language between the two of you and can help you guide his behavior so that you get along better. LMK how it goes.

[@jamieskinner4309]

I’ve fallen in love with emerald, would you say there was a difference in personality or bonding depending on gender?

[@ParrotBliss]

I can't say - I've only had a female. However, people with males also fall in love with them from what I understand.

[@AMG__18]

Heyya At 7:20 you mentioned that its best to get a baby hahns macaw rather than an adult. What age gap would a "baby" fall under? I'm really curious.

[@ParrotBliss]

It can vary, but if you’re getting a baby McCraw, I would say it’s within the first six months

[@mapofthesoultagme7143]

How are you able to care for so many pets? Are there anybody else caring for them too?

[@ParrotBliss]

I spend a lot of time taking care of them. Yes, I have help! :)

[@calypsiomoonlight9455]

I think a fitting name for a Hahns Macaw would be Sinbad. I dont have a bird yet but im thinking of owning one.

[@ParrotBliss]

Sinbad is cute! What species are you considering?

[@calypsiomoonlight9455]

@@ParrotBliss i am really keen for a Bronze winged pionus (would name him Django) Buut… if thats not an avilable option i would consider hahns macaw and name him Sinbad Cuz i think that name would fit a hahns better

[@ParrotBliss]

@@calypsiomoonlight9455 Wow! Very different personalities between those two species. I’m really loving my Pionus - I hope you can find one. They seem pretty hard to find these days.

[@HHLucifer666]

Can you make a video comparing the smaller macaws to the larger ones? I noticed you happen to keep both and I just wanted to hear your take on the pros and cons on both. Just what a parront to these birds should know and have in their mind as far as just what the various care guides won't say for both minis and the big ones. Obviously one is gonna need more than the other, space, food, money, time, etc, but if someone is actually willing to take that leap, is there anything else that I'm missing? I was maybe thinking of getting a larger sized mini macaw like a severe macaw or maybe something slightly larger or smaller? Really just What're your thoughts on mini macaws vs regular sized ones as *LIFELONG COMPANIONS* not pets. I'm gonna define the difference as an animal that you have for a decade, maybe a decade and a half, and then it dies. A life companion, to me, is an *EMOTIONAL BOND* like one would share with almost a spouse. Just clarifying there

[@ParrotBliss]

Did you see the video I made comparing them?

[@mapofthesoultagme7143]

but pets are companions and family memebrs too, they don't contradict

[@vivadevega]

How do you administer the drops?

[@ParrotBliss]

CBD drops? On food or in mouth

[@Loveofpets]

Emerald is so beautiful. They are very rare here in Canada.

[@ParrotBliss]

Yes, I'm getting the impression you have different parrots than we do - Your Sierra is very hard to find here. Thanks, Emerald is a sweet thing! Watching your video, "A day and life with my 5 parrots" - just love your Kingsley and Plum head!

[@mapofthesoultagme7143]

​@@ParrotBlissthat channel said Sierra parakeets are hard to find in canada too. I live in a major city in alberta, canada and I have never seen Sierra parakeets or tons of other spieces of parrots adoptable as pets in real life

[@captaindip6970]

I got one that won't shut the f#$& up with the screaming. I mean like if I'm on my computer and not looking at it or just once every 15 minute it screams loud as hell. It's a 5 year old re-homed bird I adopted because I'm not paying over $4,000 for a baby. That's what they are going for now. What do you recommend? is there a way to get the Bird to shut up. I don't mind the noises it makes or the talking but that loud ear piercing screaming is just not tolerable and it scares the crap out of me. It's like a jump scare. If there's anything you can recommend let me know.

[@joshuajackson4742]

How’s it going? Distracting them could be a good way, when my bird did that I trained him to respond to me clicking my fingers by nudging his head on his cage or perch or whaerever he was. Would always shut him up haha

[@captaindip6970]

@@joshuajackson4742 it's just their nature dude. I don't think you can really train a noisy bird to be quiet.

[@radiantbird]

I have / had an African grey that I had to leave with my good friend, who has four other greys and several other parrots, while I moved and relocated. Well, my grey bonded with her. She loves her new home with other greys and 10 other birds. So it’s an open adoption between us but I sort of lost her. Sometimes in life you got to do what’s hard for the benefit of those you love, and I love my grey so much that I want to give her the fullness of joy she deserves. I feel like Im An empty nester now. I finally found a Hanes macaw ( 8 month old) after almost a year and I put down half And will pick her/ him up in June! I’ll have to see what its personality is like.. but I kinda like the name Hermie if it’s a boy. I’ll do a DNA test to determine the birds sex. My African greys name is Cordelia. I think Hahnes macaw size is perfect. I want a parrot who can ride on my shoulder all day and who wants to cuddle. Cordelia the grey wasn’t cuddly. She is smart and talks but mostly she just wanted to watch. She is very bossy too. She used to make me cry sometimes when I hoped to interact with her she would get in a mood and bite me out of nowhere. Now that she’s in a home with four other greys and lots of action she hasn’t bitten my friend at all.

[@ParrotBliss]

Hi Karmen- yeah, doing what's best for the bird isn't always easy. I understand, parrots like being with other parrots and it's important for them to be with their own species too. AGs aren't cuddly, a Hahn's will be. If you aren't familiar, the Hahn's will be louder, want to be IN what you are doing, and will be far more demanding of your attention. I love my Hahn's, but some days she's hard on us. She was not socialized to get a long with other parrots - and you have seen how imporant that is - so she's at a disadvantage. She only wants human attention. Consider getting 2 Hahn's or 1 and another similar sized-parrot, I heard of a Hahn's and GCC being great friends. It will help your Hahn's not be unhappy, scream for attention and have a friend. LMK how it goes. I can identify with your experience with Cordelia - I love my AGs, but they like to watch. No cuddles! But they are also easy to live with because they aren't demanding or loud :)

Where can I buy a Hahn macaw near Florida?

[@ParrotBliss]

You need to find a breeder, maybe for next year. That way you can be sure to get one -- babies tend to be gone by late summer (already in new homes).

[@nathaliab2055]

I just got 3 weeks ago a 6 yrs old Hahn’s and I’m completely in love, everything you said is accurate and they’re amazing loving creatures! With toys mine really enjoys destroying them and get even territorial .. now he hates men, he can tolerate my husband and one son .. but the other son he really gets aggressive .. hoping will get better soon. We’re getting a Ringneck baby next week so fingers cross for that combination of flock too lol 😂

[@ParrotBliss]

My Hahn's doesn't get along with my Indian Ringneck. I hope yours does!

[@joshuajackson4742]

How are they getting on?

[@nathaliab2055]

Update: both are super healthy and great talkers but not friend towards each other .. tolerate same room but inside their cages. Ringneck has a really mean attitude, hard personality to deal with .. almost a year and only now is letting us touch him, he chose my husband and he can do more than the rest. The macaw is 1 person bird, it’s me only and nobody else…

[@hexbug101]

My Hahns while she doesn’t like traditional parrot toys she loves scoopers, spoons, and her favorite toy is a Donald Trump pen. Other than that everything you said is accurate

[@ParrotBliss]

Our girl doesn't really do toys... no matter what you buy!

@@ParrotBliss have you tried noise making toys? Whenever she hears one she stops whatever she’s doing and rushes towards it
