Macaws

Macaws are very smart parrots and can learn things very quickly.  Whether you’re trying to teach your macaw to do tricks or just plain behave there is no reason you shouldn’t have success unless you’re going about it completely the wrong way.  One of the first steps in training macaws is to gain their trust.  How can you expect a macaw to behave or perform tricks for you if he doesn’t even trust you? 

This is usually accomplished over the course of a couple weeks.  If you are raising a macaw from a baby it’s typically a little easier.  However, even if you adopt a rescued macaw that has had a questionable past you can still use our training by trust methods to modify his behavior.  Once you’ve gained your macaws trust you can teach him tricks like the one below!
