Housing and Enrichment: Spacious and Stimulation-intensive

Owing to their exercise requirement and size, Blue and Gold Macaws require an expansive, heavy-duty cage and plenty of out-of-cage time every day. Boredom creates behavioral issues, so physical and mental exercise are imperative.

Replace toys every now and then and introduce training exercises, music, and interaction to your macaw to keep it active and contented.

Diet and Nutrition: Balanced and Varied

A well-balanced diet is the key to the good health of your macaw’s vibrant feathers, hard bill, and overall good health. A mix of commercial pellets, fresh fruits, and healthy treats ensures an even intake of nutrients.

Recommended diet:
• Pellets: Good-quality macaw pellets as the diet staple
• Fresh vegetables: Carrots, spinach, broccoli, bell peppers
• Fruits: Apples, bananas, berries, papaya (small quantity)
• Nuts and seeds: Walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds (treats only)
• Fresh water: Always available and refreshed daily

Do not include avocado, caffeine, chocolate, alcohol, and salty or processed foods.

Health and Lifespan: Long-Term Health

Blue and Gold Macaws are generally healthy birds, but they thrive with regular care, a clean atmosphere, and emotional stability.

Health considerations that are common:
\t•\tFeather plucking (boredom or stress)
• Overgrowth of beak and nails (requires frequent perches and chew toys)
