Re: looking for a blue and gold macaw less than a year old
Posted by electra on 5/31/07

i can help here..........i paid 799.99 for my B&G chick at 6 weeks
old. We drove 3 hours away to get him about 75.00 in gas. I spent
700.00 on a cage. About 200.00 on formula and herbals for his
food. 250.00 on toys or more. Will be going to the vet for a check
up in 5 weeks about 300.00 more. Then there will be the weaning
foods/pellets etc. I have to be home for 3 feedings during my day
no matter WHAT happens. Doesn't matter what it is i have to be here
for the feedings. Then there's the changing of his towels and play
times and the cost of the electric over the weeks for the heat
lamps. Oh and i forgot the cost of the bins, towels, syringes,
scale, and thermometers well over 250.00. My point being there is
no such thing as a CHEAP macaw. Just to give you an idea of what
your looking at. Spend the money and buy a WEANED baby from a good
breeder. I am able to do this because i have this summer free and i
have 15 years of bird feeding experience and it is still a
challenge.
