I got my Blue & Gold Macaw (Ricky) when he was 7wks-I went through syringe feeding and weaning my bird-great for bonding but a lot of work. Ricky's now 2yrs old. Macaws are not the bird for a beginner. Macaws require money and time. These birds are messy.Behavior is like a permanent toddler-demanding and require a lot of attention (or you'll end up with a screamer that plucks feathers out) results are worth the effort. You will have a companion that will keep you company, make you laugh till it hurts - Macaws truly are clowns. They're capable of speech if the bird feels like it but there is no telling what they pick up, so watch what you say in front of them.
