THEIR DIET

Hahn macaws eat a high-quality pellet diet. This is in addition to daily servings of fresh fruits and vegetables, which make mealtime interesting to watch. Macaws, depending on their size, will eat about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of parrot mix and about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of fruit and vegetables per day. Provide fresh drinking water every day. These parrots will be delighted with dark greens like kale and spinach as well as broccoli, carrots, squash, and even some chili peppers. For fruits, consider staples like apples, peaches, oranges, and pineapple. They also like bananas and figs. Just be sure to clean up any fruit leftovers to keep the cage clean and free of ants or mold.

CAGE

A Hans Macaw needs to require, places for toys, perches for standing and climbing, places for toys, and mounted food, water, and treat dishes. Ensure wherever your macaw is, it is “bird proof”. These birds are capable of chewing everything and anything that comes their way. The minimum cage size required for these species of birds should be 36 inches wide, 48 -inches deep, and 60 inches tall. The height of their cages does not really matter as much.
