Quincy
Breed Overview
Blue and gold macaws are one of the most popular and recognizable parrot species in the world. Found in Latin American, these stunning birds are known for their vibrant blue and yellow feathers, as well as their playful and affectionate personalities. But due to their destructive behavior and loud screaming, many B&Gs are rehomed.
COMMON NAMES: Blue and gold macaw, blue and yellow macaw
SCIENTIFIC NAME: Ara ararauna
ADULT SIZE: 33 inches from beak to tail feathers, wingspan can reach 40 inches or more, and they typically weigh over 2 pounds
LIFE EXPECTANCY: 30-60 years (some have been known to live up to 100 years or more!)
Blue and Gold Macaw ~ 23 years old
Quincy is one of the newest additions to our sanctuary flock. He is a stunning macaw with an outgoing personality. He loves to meet new people and say, "Hello! Hi!"
FAVORITE PASTIMES: Quincy loves building nests out of boxes and shredding cardboard. He also enjoys chewing on wooden furniture, and even though he has plenty of toys, he always finds a way to take a new chomp out of something around the house. We are looking forward to the day when Quincy can move into the aviary and have more bird-appropriate things to chew on.
QUINCY'S STORY: Quincy's last family acquired him from a rescue, so we aren't certain of his past beyond the last two years. He knows some sign language, so one of his previous owners must have taught him. We think he knows how to sign "eat," "drink," and "leave/go away." He is terrified of broom handles, so it is thought he was abused by one in the past. He has a few bad habits like biting and screaming, and demanding human food. We are working on training him so that these behaviors are no longer an issue. Our hope is to have Quincy help us educate the public on avian husbandry, and maybe one day he can be trained to free fly as well.
FAVORITE FOOD: Walnuts in the shell
FAVORITE FLOCK MEMBER: Humans
FAVORITE SONG: Somewhere Only We Know by Rhianne
