I know this is 9 years ago but I just got a illger's macaw he had liver disease but he is all clean now so I appreciate your diet tips for the illger's macaws I switched him to pellets, fruits, veggies, nuts, eggs, and pasta.
Our baby Illiger was just born on the 4th! We already have a Hahns Macaw, and he's pretty picky on food, so we want to get our new baby used to all different types of foods early on.
Hello I have an illiger macaw 8 years old. He is very aggressive and bites a lot. I love how you are so close to your bird. Do you have any tips for us?
@pizzleman3g Thanks and yes variety is the key in feeding as they are what they eat. The outcome of these parrots depends chiefly on their nutrition among other things as well. Good luck.
Congratulations. Great to hear! They can get picky but after diversifying his diet to hardly include any staple, I found that diversity is what he craved. That too much of one thing wasn't just unbalanced nutritionally but boring. These guys love to forage and will even drop tempting sunflower seeds for a chance to search a harvested seed pod, intelligent and investigate like Kea Parrots but can naturally panic easily as well. time to investigate every item on his own works well.GoodLuck!
Hi, Could you tell me what the name of the seed is at 2:23? It sounds like Morris, but google tells me it's a seed company :/ I saw you're giving your bird melon seed. Another source might be (I need to do research on this myself) is charmagaz which is mixed melon seed found in Indian markets. Another the bird might like is anardana which is dried pomegranate. I have an Amazon, but thinking about adopting a mini macaw which is how I found your channel. Thanks for the information.
Hi u r the best I came across TH-cam, and u answer everyone's questions... I hv a african grey, bought him wen he was 6 wks old now he is 12wks, I hv a problem he does not like his cage and refuses to go in except at night to sleep.. 2nd he does not eat by himself I hv to hand feed him, he does not eat his seeds asks for biscuit in the mornings, some fruits, yogurt chilli, that's it.. I hv bought pellets for him which I mix with his seeds, he just throws it down doesn't eat it, I am so worried as how long will it take for him to eat by himself?? He is very clever barks, whistles, laughs like me😁 and flys around the house, sud I get his wing feathers clipped?? Coz he flys into windows, I am worried he is going to hurt himself... Please!!! please!!! Help!!!
@srevinUreuqno Twice a day once in the morning and once in the evening if wings are clipped. Mac's wings aren't clipped so food is avail 24 /7 but hidden in places for him to look and forage for. These macaws move fast and burn calories fast as well. Let them utilize their minds and energy as well with this strategy.
Here's a heads up...You can change that.ribs, cheese, gravy, candy, and junk food although seems happily eaten by your bird, may deteriorate its health overtime and is much worse to them than to us. Just cause your bird eats it doesn't mean its healthy. Overall, you have to control its diet or your looking at expensive vet bills, shortened lifespan, and other complications I have seen this many times myself and its always the result of an owner who believes this is spoiling it.

Ours went missing yesterday afternoon :( still trying to find her, missing her to death! Still flying in the near vicinity
I know you love your Too but use extreme caution with those food items. We both dont want to see your pet in trouble....
