Macaws will mate for life. Once birds
have found their mate they will stick
with them for the rest of their life.
They will share food, groom each
other and always fly closely together.
In captivity, the owner is often seen
as the mate by the bird. As a result
they will become attached to the
owner and can even get jealous.
Breeding season is usually in
spring and early summer, although
some pairs will breed almost year
round. Clutch size is usually two
to four eggs but sometimes more.
Incubation period ranges from 23
to 27 days. Some additional high
fat seeds, like sunflower seed,
should be added to the diet during
the breeding season to stimulate
reproduction.
