Thank You for Recommending Tropican by HARI
Jen M. writes,
Hi, we just wanted to thank you for the Hagen Tropican recommendation!
We ordered the sticks.
Our macaw just loves them and they smell amazing!
I feel so good knowing that I’m feeding them healthy food.
I had no idea that Zupreem had sugar in it and all that color can’t be good.
We also ordered the Prime Vitamin per your recommendation.

Why Does My Macaw Regurgitate in Her Cage Daily?
Charles S. relates
My bird is 14 years old. I have had him/her since being a baby!
Every day she regurgitates about a cup full in her cage!
When I leave her with an experienced bird keeper she does not do this!
They indicated that I may be petting her in a way that arouses her and that may be the problem.
She has been doing this for years.
Could it be how I’m feeding her? Usually, I feed her orange slices, 1 cracker, 2 peanuts, and a scoop of Zupreem twice a day.
Plus I give her another couple of peanuts as a treat during the day?

Kirstin B. relates
Hi,
I have a blue and gold macaw parrot. He has been in the family since he was a baby. Sadly my great uncle was the one who got him and died shortly thereafter.
He has gone through 2 other family members until sitting with me and my dad.

Which Larger Parrot Species Is the Least Difficult to Take Care of?
Thank you for acknowledging a category for “large macaws,” you’ve been paying your due diligence.
My knowledge base comes from operating a website that sells exclusively to pet bird keepers.
You can read about 1400 posts I’ve written on pet bird care.
Re: “Please don’t kid yourself there are no large parrot species that is any less difficult than the other to take care of” (below).
First, off one person’s, anecdotes should not be a driver on how to create a single bird or a flock’s environment.
