Macaws turn heads, but the real question is whether your home and daily routine can match the attention and commitment these parrots demand. Victorian Bird Co can help you learn about Macaws in Victoria, while explaining why handling, socialisation and choosing a friendly hand-reared bird matter when planning for life with one. This page also covers the time, care and financial commitment involved in Macaw ownership.
Macaws are a major time and financial commitment, and we strongly recommend choosing an extremely friendly, hand-reared bird for the best long-term outcome.
Important: Is a Macaw Right for You?
Buying a Macaw Bird is not only a large financial investment — it is also a significant time commitment.
Macaws require:
Daily interaction
Mental stimulation
Consistent care and attention
Our strongest advice is to purchase a Macaw that is extremely friendly and great with people. If you are prepared to commit, visit us in store and our team will explain all you need to know before committing to Macaw ownership.
Hand Rearing Macaws Takes Weeks of Work
Hand-rearing involves:
Specialised formula feeds up to five times a day
Early mornings and late nights
Correct temperature and consistency at every feed
Daily handling and interaction
This process builds trust, confidence, and strong human bonding. Hand-reared birds do not see humans as a threat — they see them as companions.
By the time a Macaw is ready for a new home, it has already been fed, nurtured, socialised, and carefully guided through its most important development stages.
That is why hand-reared Macaws offer exceptional value. You are not just buying a bird — you are taking home a companion ready to bond with you.
