Raising a baby PARROT 🦜 Part 2 of Raising Larry the Catalina Macaw

Part two of 'Raising Larry'. In this video, we again show how to raise a baby bird. Larry is a Catalina Macaw, which is a hybrid between a blue & gold and a scarlet macaw. We show how we hand-fed the baby bird and built his bird box. Thanks for watching, y'all!

I have my macaw setting on eggs right now ..
I was thinking of pulling babies out at 6 weeks ?? What you think?

[@grassrootsgardening]

From what Ive read, you shouldnt wait past 20 days.....but its a lot of work and getting up every 4 hours!!

Larry is a very clumsy baby. I hand raised an amazon, and would NEVER do it again. Unless you are experienced and have LOTS of support, handfeeding (and weaning) can end up in heartbreak and disaster. Weaning my bluefront was the most nerve wracking time of my life and I swore that I'd never hand raise a baby parrot again. I really think that unless the parent birds are inexperienced, or can't raise the baby, or if they are harming the baby, it's really best to let the parent birds raise the chicks. Hand feeding does NOT make them tamer, or better companions or "Pets". I have an adopted yellow nape amazon, and his is a big bruiser of a boy who came to me with attitude, and we became buddies and inseperable very quickly. It takes gentle, permission based handline, and mostly TRUST to for a bond with a bird, especially parrots which are so intelligent. Let them have choice, be gentle, and NEVER discipline them! They are not like dogs, and won't get it. The only result would be that they loose their trust in you and think you are an abusive jerk. My YNA is the sweetest most trusting boy, and a stellar companion, but it takes work!

I’ll never do this again, thats for sure! Thanks for sharing
