Severe macaw

Description

Severe macaw needs to be rehomed. He prefers men. He has A LOT of potential. But I’ve quickly realized I am not the person to allow him the opportunities necessary to meet that potential. I jumped into a purchase, thinking I knew everything there was to know. (Spoiler. I don’t) and after some months of trying to train and love and help, I have gotten discouraged to the point of no return. The constant distain for me is seriously taking a toll on my mental health and I want what’s best for both him and I. I can’t find a treat that works for him, he will step up occasionally. He likes baths. Does not like hats. There is A LOT of potential here. I will say that again and again. But he needs an experienced owner. I am not that person. He doesn’t come with a cage. Just the bird. He’s around 12 years old. (Macaws live for a long while though.) he does talk. He says some things. Pavé (his name) good morning, love you, good night, Hey cutie, yes, no and he barks. (I have a dog) he will need a large cage and a lot of patience. I am not going to give him to just anybody. He does not scream often. He will warning bite before he actually bites (that bit was trained. It was not like that when he first got into my care) it goes like this. Lunge, grab with beak, no pressure. Warning bite. Real bite. You kinda HAVE to screw up to get bit. His attitude will change within days with the right person. I love him very much. But this is not something I can handle. There will be a rehoming fee. 1,000$ but negotiable. Just the bird. Please do not contact me with any hate about how I should have done research before I got him. I assure you, that is abundantly clear. And this already sucks bad enough. Key words- bird, parrot
