Hi everyone! I’ve been thinking about buying a Scarlet Macaw I saw for sale at a local breeder. I’ve done some basic research, but I want to hear from people who actually own these birds. What’s your experience like? Is there anything specific I should know before taking the plunge? Any advice would be appreciated!

I’ve had my Scarlet Macaw for over 10 years, and while I love him to bits, it’s definitely not an easy pet. They need constant mental stimulation or they’ll start to develop bad habits, like feather plucking or screaming. I hope you’re ready for a bird that needs both physical and mental exercise every day. Also, their beaks are incredibly strong, so make sure you have plenty of toys for them to chew on—otherwise, they might go after your furniture!
Owning a Scarlet Macaw is both rewarding and challenging. These birds are highly intelligent and require lots of attention and mental stimulation. Be prepared for loud vocalizations and a long-term commitment, as they can live 50 years or more. They need a spacious cage, a varied diet, and daily interaction to stay healthy. If you’re serious about getting one, I’d recommend looking into reputable breeders like CJ Parrots Farm scarlet macaw for sale to ensure you're getting a well-cared-for bird. They’re amazing pets, but definitely not for the faint of heart!
