The severe macaw

[dead-zone02]

I introduced myself a few days ago and told you I was looking for a severe macaw. I don't know where I could search to find one, I searched everywhere since 1 year... I found at least 30 of them but in Netherlands, Canada or USA... I'm desperate
Though I read a lot of topics which concerning the severe I'd like you to tell me more about them.
I found a big cage for him (84" 49" 33"), I just have to find the bird now...

Did you contact any rescues in your country?

We have an adult male Severe macaw. I've never met one that wasn't a one-person only bird, and Eddie is no exception. Loves my husband, barely tolerates me, hates everyone else. They have the most obnoxious voices you can imagine, and I swear that their genetic makeup includes vampire. They love to drain a vein when they get a chance. They are smart, cute, and very attractive. Despite the fact that I love Eddie (when he's not screaming--when he is, I want to pop him into the stew pot :-), I sure wouldn't choose any mini macaw if you're looking for a laid back kind of bird. They aren't. Many good qualities, mind you. You just have to know what you're looking for. Personally, I prefer the large macaws.

As for finding one in France, I haven't a clue. Good luck!

Thank you for answering ;)
I'm very happy, I've found an severe's breeder in Belgium. He's got 3 eggs. I just have to wait...

I have a male, 6 yo and my only bird for now, been with birds since '84 though..smaller ones, aratinga conures mostly, this is my first macaw. Love that macaw goofyness, affection, intellignence and his size.

He can be noisy but to me sounds like a donkey on helium compared to the icepick-in-the-ear of some of conure's notes!!

I know where you can find a severe macaw! I have handled him at a pet store in southwest missouri and he is sweet but I was told he prefers women over men. I was able to hold him for about 45 min and really was sweet

hes in France, soooo, that won't really help him ;)

I kinda want a macaw though, but not a severe, I want a good chance at having a friendly one.
