Birds Comfort offer for your bird cages best selection of all kind bird perches at the lowest prices. Features: - 42' x 1.5' - weight: 6 lbs. Adult southern cassowaries are 1.5 to 1.8 m (5–6 ft) tall, although some females may reach 2 m (6.6 ft), and weigh 58.5 kg (130 lb). All cassowaries have feathers that consist of a shaft and loose barbules. They do not have rectrices (tail feathers) or a preen gland. Cassowaries have small wings with 5–6 large remiges. Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube. For smaller macaw varieties, such as Hahn's macaw and Illiger's macaw, the cage should be at least 24 inches (61 cm) wide, 24 inches (61 cm) high, and 18 inches (46 cm) deep. Larger macaws, such as the blue and gold macaw or hyacinth macaw, should have a cage no smaller than 5 feet (1.5 m) (1.5 m) wide, 6 feet (1.8 m) (1.8 m) high, and 3.5.

Blue and gold macaw (Ara ararauna) (left); green-winged macaw (Ara chloropterus )(right)
Macaws are found in a variety of habitats throughout large areas of the Amazon Basin, such as gallery forests and mangrove swamps. Most macaws are listed on Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) Appendix I, however the blue and gold, green-winged, Hahn's, noble, red-bellied, severe and yellow-collared macaws are listed on CITES Appendix II. Appendix I species are threatened with extinction globally, and commercial trade is prohibited and importation/exportation for scientific research requires special permits. Appendix II species are not necessarily threatened with extinction, but may become so unless their trade is strictly regulated.

There are 15 species of macaws in the genus Ara and 3 species in genus Anodorhynchus. Blue and gold, scarlet, and green-winged macaws are among the most popular pet macaw species. Visit LafeberVet's Macaw ID Slideshow for additional information.
Physical description
- Macaws are slender birds with long tapered tails; strong, heavy bills; and a bare facial patch.
- Macaws are sexually monomorphic.
- The green-winged macaw may be distinguished from the scarlet macaw by its larger size and the bands of small, red feathers around the eyes. Scarlet macaws also have yellow feathers on their wings.

Diet
- Macaws are frugivores, granivores, and/or florivores. Free-ranging birds feed on seeds, fruit, figs, palm nuts, leaves, nectar, and/or flowers.
- Some macaws need more fat in their diet. Hyacinth macaws consume only palm nuts in the wild.
- Since psittacine birds hull seeds before ingestion, they do not require grit. In fact, some individuals will overeat grit when ill putting the bird at risk for impaction.
- All-seed diets are deficient in protein, vitamins, and minerals including calcium and vitamin A.
Husbandry
- Macaws require a large amount of space in a quality made cage or room with appropriate toys.
- Cage bar spacing should be 0.75-1.5 in (1.9-3.8 cm).
- Perch diameter should range from 5/8 in (1.6 cm) for Hahn's macaw up to 2 in (5 cm) for hyacinth macaws.
- Provide frequent baths or showers.
Behavior
- Most of the large macaws are considered gentle birds, however all large macaws can be quite noisy and destructive.
- The scarlet macaw has a reputation for a particularly strong personality making them a difficult pet for inexperienced owners.
- All macaws are extremely intelligent that require a lot of stimulation.
- Feather destructive behavior may be more common in some of the mini macaw species.
- Most macaw species have a bare facial area, which can flush pink indicating a change in mood.
- Foraging is an important part of normal daily parrot activity. Teach and encourage pet birds to play and forage.

Anatomy and physiology
- Macaws have a rolling or waddling gait due to walking on their feet as well as caudal tarsometatarsus.
- The pressure exerted by a large macaw beak can be greater than 200 psi.
- Macaws share the following anatomic traits with other members of Order Psittaciformes:
- Communication of the right and left nasal sinus
- The only avian tongue with intrinsic muscles
- Simply syrinx
- Craniofacial hinge of beak is a synovial joint
- Ceca absent
- Gall bladder often absent
- Zygodactyl foot: two toes pointed backward and two pointed forward

- Zygodactyl foot: two toes pointed backward and two pointed forward
Restraint
- Most macaw species have a bare facial patch that can flush pink color indicating a change in mood.
- Restrain large macaws by placing the thumb and forefinger beneath the mandible. Secure the outside wing with three fingers and use the other hand to hold the feet.
- Avoid touching the bare facial patch as the skin can bruise after aggressive restraint.
Venipuncture
Use a 25-gauge needle and 1 to 3-mL syringe to draw blood from the right jugular vein. Collection of up to 1% of body weight is acceptable in healthy patients.
Preventive medicine
- Obtain a complete history and perform a thorough annual physical examination.
- Establish baseline data with regular clinical testing (complete blood count, protein electrophoresis, and plasma biochemistries.
- Ensure proper nutrition and husbandry.
- Recommend quarantine of newly acquired birds.
- Perform additional testing for select diseases based on history and physical exam findings: avian polyoma virus and psittacosis.
- Determine origin and history of newly acquired sick birds to contain and prevent further spread of disease.
- Birds housed in large groups or aviaries are at higher risk of Pacheco's disease virus and use of the vaccine may be indicated.
- The avian polyoma virus vaccine is recommended for breeding populations.
Injections
| Intramuscular (IM) | Reasonably safe, most accurate. Inject middle of muscle mass. | Ideal location –Pectoral muscle mass |
| Subcutaneous (SQ) | Large volumes can be injected, poor absorption. | Location: Inguinal or precrural fold |
| Intravenous | Effective, narrow safety range. | Right jugular vein or brachial vein is most commonly used. Alternative option: superficial metatarsal vein. |
Important medical conditions
Non-Infectious Diseases
- Beak malocclusion
- Degenerative cardiac disease
