Moving my B&G Macaw to an outdoor aviary.

[mgriffiths1984]

Hi peeps,

I am really considering moving my B&G Macaw into an outdoor aviary which i am yet to build or buy. Firstly she is only one and a half years old and is kept in a cage in the living room. I love spending time playing with her and trying to keep her entertained but i still think she wants more LOL.

I know i will have to climatise her to our outdoor temps as she has never been kept outdoors other than when her wings were clipped and it was a nice sunny day. I was wondering what the process was on climatising a macaw and essential needs for an outdoor aviary i.e a warm inside section?.

Also would she be happy by herself outdoors or im thinking i would really like to get her a companion bird which i would totally show time to also, so as to make her alone times alot better. My garden is limited in space but there is enough to provide a good sized enclosure. Also how would i introduce another b&g macaw to her, or maybe a greenwing or scarlet??? I would be looking at moving her out most probably after xmas. Please as much info as possible would be brill.

Thanx
