Macaws need a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals. Their diet should include:

• High-quality pelleted food

• Fresh fruits and vegetables (apples, carrots, spinach, bell peppers)

• Nuts such as almonds and walnuts for healthy fats

• Limited seeds and grains

Avoid chocolate, avocado, caffeine, and processed foods.

Macaws need large, sturdy cages — at least 36” x 48” x 60”.
Include:

• Durable toys

• Food and water dishes

• A safe play area outside the cage

Keep the cage in a bright, active area of the home, away from drafts and fumes.

Macaws are highly active and need plenty of exercise.

Macaws are fast learners and respond best to positive reinforcement training.

Training Tips:
