New macaw

[Parrotkeeper02]

Yay!! We were fostering a blue and yellow macaw for the past two years for a shelter no one wanted to get it so my parents decided to keep it we got our paper work at the council done today and are currently turning our garage into a parrot shed/room for out new macaw reio

you are going to exile him to the garage?

[Pajarita]

Yeah, parrotkeeper, that doesn't sound like a good idea to me, either...

Why would you go through the hassle of being approved to foster a very social bird only to put it in the garage alone? Of course we may be misunderstanding what it is that you are intending to do, if so please correct us.

If u are putting him in the garage make sure he has heating and light and maybe a window if possible and you should spend a lot of time with him.Do u not have anywhere else to put him I would love a macaw just dont have the space for a large area for it to live.

a parrot in a closed and rarely visited room is like a dog in a kennel. I don't like that either. why would you even have it?

[Parrotkeeper02]

No no u guys go it wrong we are turning the garage into a parrot room it btw is attached to our house where my parents will be spending most of there time with him we done the building now we waiting for the toys and feeder we order online wich we spent about $500 on. We knocked down the wall separating the house and garage/parrot room

Thank for setting us straight on this as it now makes sense to me. Please understand that everyone was just concerned for the birds well being and your original post was not very clear on the fact that the macaw was not being separated from you all with the garage being made into a bird room.

I would love to see pictures! Wish we could turn the garage into a summer birdroom/hangout for the birds...unfortunately, we maintain our house ourselves so too many tools/fume-laden items that would be dangerous if the birds got into them. So Fajr contents himself with occasional flights in there when my Dad is working on bird-safe projects.

Do you live in a snow-free region?
