Must Have Cleaning Devices for the Parrot Owner

Review of my three favorite cleaning gadgets as a parrot owner. I've tried a thousand dollars worth of stuff so that you don't have to. Read about the ones that are keepers and why. Newest pic of my baby.

Your new little macaw is very cute Michael.

What are your plans regarding having them out at the same time? I think truman is big enough to fend for himself, but Kili is going to be tiny compared to your new bird (scarlett macaw eh?).
I know of a meyers who got on the wrong side of the macaw and died becuase of it :(.

I'll play it by ear but the current plan is to just keep Kili & Truman as one group and the macaw separately. It's going to be a very young baby when I get it so I'll want to keep it separate for the first 6-12 months regardless and then we'll see how things develop. I said it's a macaw cause I don't think it can be confused with any other type from the most recent picture. I didn't say what kind. You guys still have to figure it out.

I think its a green wing macaw. Congrats on your new birdy baby. Are you currently handfeeding him or is the breeder doing that?

Thanks for this, Michael, you've inspired me to buy a Bissell similar to the one you reviewed (that exact one isn't available in the UK). I have a dog as well as my young Senegal and my carpet is suffering! Your new baby is huge, my guess is that it's a Hyacinth.

He's beautiful! Can't wait to see him fully grown in all his glory.
You're going to need a bigger poop cleaner for sure! X

I am pretty sure my guess of scarlett macaw is wrong as well. Those babies have more yellow on them...

From a quick googling I am not sure which species it is, my best guess would be a hybrid, but I dont think Michael would support that?

Otherwise maybe a Red-and-green Macaw, a Red-fronted Macaw, or a Great Green Macaw, but none of them looks just like the photo of the baby macaw Michael posted.

His bird is a scarlet macaw. If it were a green wing macaw, then it would have red streaks and markings on it bare white face near the eyes. However, the bird's face is a clean, pure white, like a scarlet macaw, therefore this bird is a scarlet macaw.
