Hey everyone! I recently came across a listing for a Scarlet Macaw for sale and I’m seriously considering getting one. I’ve always loved their bright colors and intelligence. But before I make the leap, I wanted to ask if anyone here has experience owning one? I’d love to hear your thoughts on what it’s like to care for them, especially in terms of their daily needs and long-term commitment.

I’ve had my Scarlet Macaw for 3 years now and I can’t stress enough how much they demand your time and energy. Not only are they loud (especially in the mornings), but they’re also super social. If you don’t interact with them daily, they can become really moody. However, if you’re prepared for the commitment, they are incredibly rewarding companions. They can learn to talk, mimic sounds, and form a strong bond with their owners. Just make sure you have a big enough space—macaws need room to stretch their wings and fly around.
