Do You Want A Life Changing Experience Own A Blue And Gold Macaw

I have after 32 years with the same Blue And Gold Macaw some insight regarding that question.

I can answer the question easily by asking another question most people will answer almost instinctively even if they have no actual experience at this moment. How does having a child change your life? I believe most people would easily agree and say. In every conceivable manner a kid will change your life. Most would say that with almost no thought I think.

As humans most of us understand the awesome responsibility that having a kid brings to our lives. Owning a Blue And Gold Macaw is in fact quite the same experience. When comparing the two from birth through the toddler years there really is not much difference.

Why would owning a Blue And Gold Macaw compare so closely to having and raising a child? Because with some notable differences (kids being human and Macaws being animals) many of the responsibilities are the same. The responsibilities are so closely related primarily due to the fact that the Blue And Gold Macaw possesses an intelligence and an understanding comparable to children ages somewhere between two to four years of age. Experts claim normally Blue And Gold Macaws are as trainable and intelligent as chimps and dolphins. They are far more intelligent than the normally kept animal pets such as dogs, cats, and non domesticated kept animals.

What is very important here is that kids grow up. Blue And Gold Macaws do not grow up. They only grow older. They remain toddlers for life intelligence wise. As a companion animal in captivity they just cannot and never will be able to take care of themselves. They will always rely on you.

Your kid, as time goes by learns hopefully to take some of the burden of care off of you. Your Blue And Gold companion will not. He doesn't want to either. Even with limiting what you can and cannot do with your life he will be quite content taking up most of your free time.

He loves the fact that finding an adequate baby sitter is not easy to do. If properly socialized he believes that if you go there and you do that he should too. A Blue And Gold Macaw relishes imposing himself upon you. Actually he more or less will demand he be fully involved in your life. He will not mind reminding you vociferously when excluded to much from your life.

He will instinctively adopt every bad behavior in his arsenal should you exclude him to much, to long, to often. A wise owner keeps his Blue And Gold companion very happy. There is a price for not doing so.

There comes at some point a time when your children naturally prefer being with their friends and away from mom and dad. Not so the companion bird, he knows why you have a shoulder, he will force you to use it too. A Blue And Gold Macaw is relentless in his need to be with you.

The best part of life with a Blue And Gold Macaw is. Unlike your kid he will never grow up and leave you. Whether you like it or not. He will always be there for you. Will you always be there for him?

Unfortunately to many people acquire one of these companions unprepared or unable to give him his due. He just needs to be your Blue And Gold toddler for life. So the question is actually. How doesn't a Blue And Gold Macaw change your life?
