Adding a new macaws to my others

[macaws49]

I have 2 female macaws, both about 14. They live together in a large tree in the house. I recently got a male macaw about the same age. I have put them together when I am there. My question. If I let the male live with the females will he bond with one of the females as a mate. I don't want to lose my pets. I have heard when a male and female bond they become mean to their owners and other parrots. I have had my females since babies. What do you all think?

You have a large tree in your house? Got pics? There is no guarantee that they will bond or even like each other for that matter... unfortunately. If they do bond... yes they usually forget all about their human companions.

The male may mate bond with one of the hens you own. This will usually make the second hen a target for aggression according to a good friend of mine who breeds the big 'caws (happens when the small ones and other psittacines too). She also indicates that hand-tamed breeders are usually very, very aggressive to the human handler during breeding season and have zero fear, so will attack willingly.
