Trix And Puppies Are For Kids Blue And Gold Macaws Are For Adults
Please stop and think before you buy your child that Blue And Gold Macaw or any Macaw for that matter.
A companion such as a Blue And Gold Macaw is a commitment. The commitment will be long term. A long term commitment with a Macaw can mean thirty to fifty years and even longer.
Even for the well settled person it is difficult to commit to such a long term relationship. For the Macaw owning the bird has to be purely a labor of love. Nothing short of that will do the experience justice.
A large Blue And Gold Macaw is just not the type of animal anyone should use to begin teaching their child responsibility. Many well settled adults find the commitment very difficult at times.
If you must. Then buy this large bird for yourself first and foremost. If you are not completely and totally committed to the endeavor and hopefully sparking an interest within your child then do not buy it. Don't make a Macaw a childs responsibility. The responsibility is adult and should always remain with an adult. Sparking an interest in your child is secondary and hopeful. That you want the relationship most of all is primary.
Having a large Macaw in the home is a huge responsibility. All Macaws require a great deal of work and time being spent. Not just cleaning and feeding either.
The Blue And Gold Macaw is an attention hog. He needs every moment you can afford him. He needs to be the center of your attention. When it comes to social time. The Blue And Gold Macaw is known to be terribly demanding.
On average no less than 3 hours a day should be spent interacting with Macaw parrots. Truthfully you cannot give a Macaw to much of your time. It just isn't possible to do. Time to commit to a Macaw is not something most children, teenagers or even many young unsettled adults have to give.
Ideally a Blue And Gold Macaw becomes part of the family. Macaws really need to feel they are. Each person would hopefully be sharing in the responsibilities, cleaning, feeding, and socializing. Each person caring enough to learn about and to bond with the bird.
Pet Macaws should be handled as much as is possible each and every day. They crave it they need it. By teaching a child through interaction with a Macaw. One day its possible they could own a Macaw of their own.
Buying a Blue And Gold or other Macaw for a child and trying to make the bird the childs or even a teenagers responsibility I don't believe should be done. It isn't fair to the child or the bird.
There is just to much going on in the lives of children to provide the commitment required by a Macaw. Just growing up is almost all they can handle. They have school, friends, sports, school activities, homework, dating and that list goes on and on.
Even young adults finished with school, working and with a family may find it difficult to commit fully to a Macaw. The commitment is second only to a spouse or child.
There is a correct time and a incorrect time to take on the care of a large Macaw. Childhood and young adulthood for the very most people would just not be that time.The very nature of the Blue And Gold Macaw himself demands those who wish to make the commitment be more settled in life.
Not having the proper time or commitment defeats the entire purpose of owning one of these magnificent birds. The time people spend interacting with a Macaw is what makes Macaws worth the lifetime of commitment.
No other animal can provide so much for so long. For children and those unable or unwilling to make such a huge investment of their time they make goldfish.
