what is the natural behaviour of the blue and gold macaw in the wild2007-11-24 17:26:28Answers:

I have a blue and gold Macaw. I've had it for around 6 months now so he is 10 months old now. One of their behaviours in the wild is that they flock together. There will be a 'top' bird, that's the one in charge.This top bird will sit on the highest branch. He will have had to prove himself to the others in the flock to be top bird. He watches out for danger and warns the other if anything approaches.

That is why you shouldn't normally allow a blue and gold to sit up on your shoulder, especially if they are a bit bossy, because they are higher up than you and will see themselves as the boss. (Apart from the fact that they could peck your eye! (Is that why pirates always have an eye patch? Ha ha!)

In the evening they all call..this is like a series of screams, very very loud..it's a way of communicating with one another. Mine does this at home too, he'll let out 5 or 6 ear piercing screams at sun down.

I hope this helps a bit.

Good luck

They fly around from tree to tree,eat some fruit or some nuts and maybe mate when the time is right,then they start all over again.

please clarify exactly what you want to know. Surely you don't expect someone to explain how a macaw behaves from the minute it wakes to the moment it goes to roost? What behaviour exactly?

I think that maybe you need to learn to spell and ask questions correctly. Your questions make no sense what so ever.
