Great Video Ypu’ve got beautifull birds…… its my dream to have a Macaw
Wauw, what a beautiful video. Thank you so much. Greetings from Denmark, Europe.
Great Video! It’s pretty cool seeing how you raised and trained Buckle after seeing him fly in Moab.
funny !! i just watched this video and my blue & gold macaw started screaming when he buckle squack
Wow, Buckle is a gorgeous lady!
It was an absolute joy watching this vid! Thanks!
WOW very impressed is this the birds first flight coming back and forth? how is that it just didn’t fly away?
Excelent, beautiful bird and great job when you are feeding him
Buckle is doing fine. She is one of our best fliers. She loves to fly and loves to get attention from us. She is a really wonderful bird. Chris
This video is on my favorites and I haven’t watched it in months (almost a year) My family and I raised several hand fed cockatiels so I love watching it. How is Buckle today?
My green wing macaw, andre, loves your video. everytime he hears Buckle squack he awnswers back. lol
I’m glad Buckle had you two as parents, I loved this video! thank you!
Watch the flight feather shafts. When they turn clear, they are mature and ready for flying. Chris
Thanks for the comments. Glad you enjoyed the video. We have fun making them. Chris
Thanks. I think they are pretty too. Chris
this was the most best vids ever , btw ur wife is pretty n so is buckle =) =) =) =)
That`s a beautiful macaw… like a all the breeds of macaws combined together…
This was by far the BEST macaw video I have seen. It’s stupid but it made me cry thinking back to raising our greenwing from 55 days old. you have a fabulous relationship with your birds and i will definitely be contacting you all if i decide to get another.
Great video and really a pleasure to watch Buckle’s journey.
Thank you for sharing!!
Love your video, Such a beautiful Macaw. I am watching my baby Calico Macaw grow up, he is only 50 days old, so I love seeing your video, it lets me know around the time I should start to see full feathers and their personality. Thanks for such a great video.
takeing care of birds frome birth is realy hard if you dont know how to take care of them my dad has a blue and gold and befor he got it he was studying how to take care of it for a month
Really good video, you guys give a good life to those birdys!!! i want one!!!
The issue is more a question of are you a good home? No animal will make a “good pet” if the home is not dedicated to learning the skills and dedicating the time and resources to developing the pet potential of the animal. If you are willing to do the research about what kind of parrot would match your lifestyle best, learn how to use positive training methods (like clicker training), and make a true commitment to an animal that can out live you, then yes I think they are good pets.

The issue is keeping the syringe in the birds mouth so the food goes into the mouth instead of all over its face. They have a very vigorous head bob action that is part of the natural parent feeding process. But that can be hard for us to work with. Using a finger in the mouth helps stabilize the process by keeping the head and syringe “bobbing together”. At this age they have very little interest in biting anything hard enough to break it so that is really not an issue. Chris
Are they worth buying? I mean i have to buy the bird for like $2500, cage and food and stuff for $1000s. are they good pets? or will they bite and try to escape?
You did a wonderful job. Your bird is not willing to go away, apparently. Congrats and lucky you. <3
probably. Even at that age it could splinter the syringe.
