Macaws

It takes about 24 days for incubation (before baby hatches) it is amazing to see the chick chip away at the shell, until it has gone completely around before pushing it's way out into the world. You can also see the red blood vessels and membrane that once held and nourished the baby while developing in the egg. We placed a walnut shell in one picture to give you a more accurate idea of what a blue and gold macaws size would be upon hatching. In the last picture to your right the egg tooth is visible (the white tip on the beak), it is very hard. This is what the baby uses to chip away at the egg shell. Soon it will disappear, because the baby will not have need of it.

Here is a 10 day old blue & gold macaw chick, shown with an artificial macaw egg (to size).

3 weeks, 5 weeks, and at 12 weeks, baby macaws are amazing to watch as they grow. Some stages of growth are so rapid, one minute they have no feathers and the next you see feathers emerging.

At about 16 weeks they are completely weaned, it's amazing to watch them grow. Surpassed by none, their legendary beauty, magnificent plumage, captivating personality, intelligent inquisitive nature make the blue & gold macaw a favorite in the bird world.

They are truly one of my favorite, and several we own talk better than our congo greys. When raised in a nurturing environment you couldn't ask for more in a companion.

These macaws are enjoying a warm summer day.
