Ara
Militaris, the Military Macaw, makes a splendid pet. You may
have heard that Militaries have a reputation for being nippy and
unmanageable. This could be true of any psitticine not adequately
socialized and trained. When a Military knows what his boundaries
are, he has the potential to be almost as cuddly as any member of
the cockatoo family.
Not the calmest of
parrots, the Military Macaw does have a bit more of a wild
temperament than its Blue and Gold cousin, but are no where near as
nippy as some people believe. They of course need to be handled
often to keep them entertained, and to help with training them not
to nip, but those parrots who have their needs met can be
exceptional companions.
It's
the subtle beauty of the Military Macaw that hints at the
complexities of this species' vivacious personality. This is no shy,
sedentary macaw. Swinging audaciously from one toenail is a
favourite pastime of these birds. Because of this, the Military
Macaw needs to play in wide-open spaces. His cage should have room
for a swing, and for him to flap his wings. Optimally, he should be
able to spend a great deal of the day cavorting on a play gym or
other type of out-of-the-cage exercise environment.
