Training Tips for Beginners

Blue and Gold macaws are smart and eager learners, but start slow to build trust.

• Use positive reinforcement: Offer treats like nuts for “step up” on a perch or gloved hand.

• Keep sessions short (5-10 minutes, 2-3 times daily) to match their attention span.

• Teach simple commands like recall or wave, rewarding calm behavior immediately.

• Socialize early with household noises and gentle handling to prevent nippiness.

Our birds come pre-socialized with basic training support included.

Care Requirements and Daily Needs

These macaws demand active daily involvement to stay happy and healthy.

• Interaction: 3-4+ hours out-of-cage time for flying, playing, and bonding.

• Enrichment: Rotate durable chew toys, foraging puzzles, and swings to curb boredom.

• Grooming: Weekly baths or mists; trim nails/beak as needed by an avian vet.

• Cleaning: Spot-clean cage daily, full disinfect weekly to prevent bacteria.

Expect a fun but hands-on routine—perfect for families who treat them as household stars.

Legal Requirements to Own in Maryland

Maryland classifies Blue and Gold macaws as exotic pets, but they are generally legal with no special state permit required for captive-bred birds. Always verify:

• Local county/city rules on noise and large birds (some areas limit exotic pets).

• Seller documentation: Ensure closed-leg bands and proof of legal breeding.

• Housing compliance: No apartment restrictions in HOAs or rentals.
