arkbart4 Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 Hello , We are new here and hope it is ok that i dont have a gray . My blue and gold macaw's name is peanut . we hope to meet a lot of good people here and get some good info .
judygram Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 Hello Arkbart4 and welcome to the family, so glad you could join us and no you do not have to own a grey to be a part of our family, you do have the one factor that is shared by all of us and that is a love of birds. I am sure Peanut is quite a character, most B&G macaws are and we do have some members who also own macaws and a few are B&G ones. They are gorgeous creatures and yours is no exception from the photo in your avatar. Read thru many of the threads here for lots of useful information that would apply to macaws also and do not hesitate to ask questions you may have. We will do our best to get you some answers and help you in any way we can. We do have an other birds room where you can share a few photos of Peanut if you would like, we would love to see more of him, especially full length body shots, B&G macaws are very pretty and I love looking at them.

Guest Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Arkbart, welcome here I hope you will like it. I already saw the photo of your bird, and he is gorgeous!
arkbart4 Posted March 1, 2008 Author Posted March 1, 2008 Thank you all for all of the welcomes . I need some advice . Peanut is realy good with me and Russell . Last night i was playing with him on the bed and he was fliping upside down and rolling over on his back . Hanging from my fingers . We play like this all the time . Then a friend came by and as soon as he got into the room peanut reached out and bit me . What is this , just acting out of is it a behavor problem ? Does anyone know a way to correct this .
Ronda477 Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 How old is peanut? Sounds to me like he just gets a little jealous when the attention is no longer on him. When he bites what do you do? Do you give a stern No, and than put him down? I have read allot of people do the stern No no no No bite, and than put their bird down, or usually back in the cage and turn their back on them for about 5 min. This tells them that what they just did wasn't acceptable. And hopefully they will pick up that every time I do this I get ignored for a bit and they won't do this anymore. Hopefully some more people with Macaws will come around and help you out!
arkbart4 Posted March 2, 2008 Author Posted March 2, 2008 Thats kinda what i figured . Yes i have been training him with NO and puting him back in his cage for a few minutes . He is just 11 mo old . I had people tell me that he couldnt learn what no ment they said i was supost to use goodies only when he was good . He is smart enough i think thay can learn what no means . It worked on my smaller birds we used to have (quakers ). Thanks
judygram Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 You're right Arkbart, they are smarter than a lot of people give them credit for and they come to know what NO means, you are on the right track.
Ronda477 Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 No problem! I still have an annoying little Quaker lol Good Luck to you! Keep us updated on how peanut is doing!
MommaFawkes Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Welcome!!! I thought I had already welcomed you ...sorry for the delay!!
