Description

The severe macaw or Chestnut-fronted macaw is one of the largest of the mini-macaws. These birds have a lot of personality into a smaller, easier-to-care-for package. They are also among the best talkers and enjoy socializing with their human flock.

Severe macaws bond quickly with their owners, responding well to training and boasting impressive speaking abilities. Because these birds need a lot of mental stimulation, potential owners should make sure that they have plenty of free time to spend with their new pet.

Severe Macaws are mostly green in color with patches of red and blue on the wings. The head has a brown patch just above the beak, which has also earned them the name Chestnut Fronted Macaw. The beak is black, and the patches around the eyes are white with lines of small black feathers.

Feeding & Care

We feed our Severe macaws a variety of fruits and vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, fresh kale, broccoli, carrots, apples, and peppers. All fruits and vegetables must be thoroughly washed to remove any harmful chemicals before being fed to the bird. We also feed a variety of Uccello seeds, pellets, and nuts. Feeding pet birds the right foods is essential for their health. A balanced diet based on sound bird nutrition recommendations is the key. Balancing a parrot’s diet from the beginning may prevent many health and behavior problems.

Chestnut-fronted macaw needs a large amount of training, socialization, and mental stimulation due to a large amount of energy and curiosity. If not socialized well, appropriately trained, and have enough mental stimulation, Severe Macaws can turn into aggressive biters or “one person” birds.

Severe Macaws love to chew things and are very strong for their size, so plenty of toys of multiple types should be provided to keep them stimulated. If not socialized or stimulated enough, Severe Macaws will quickly turn to self-mutilation and aggressive behaviors.

They need a variety of differently sized perches to help exercise and stretch their feet.
