Scarlet Macaw
Thinking about a Scarlet Macaw? It is a large dog, intelligent, and lives around 50–70+ years. Before anything else, check your week: this breed does well when someone is home to break up the day, and poorly with eleven empty hours.
If that does not describe your household, tell us - we would rather point you at a different dog that fits than sell you this one.

Your Scarlet Macaw checklist
- Damp: dry it properly in the wet months - skin trouble here starts damp and gets ignored.
- Enrichment: foraging toys rotated weekly, or it will find its own entertainment.
- Diet: pellets and fresh vegetables, not an all-seed bowl. Never avocado, chocolate or caffeine.
- Nails and beak: checked periodically; overgrowth signals a diet or perch problem.
- Vet: registered before you need one, not during an emergency.
