When you have 32 years with the same Blue And Gold Macaw you have some insight regarding that question.
I can answer the question easily by asking another question most people will answer almost instinctively even if they have no actual experience at this moment. How does having a child change your life? I think most people would automatically agree and say. A kid changes your life in every conceivable manner. Most would say that with almost no thought I think.
As humans most of us understand the awesome responsibility that having a kid brings to our lives. Owning a Blue And Gold Macaw is in fact quite the same experience. When comparing the two from birth through the toddler years there really is not much difference.
Why would owning a Blue And Gold Macaw compare so closely to having and raising a child? Because with some notable differences (kids being human and Macaws being animals) many of the responsibilities are the same. The responsibilities are so closely related primarily due to the fact that the Blue And Gold Macaw possesses an intelligence and an understanding comparable to children ages somewhere between two to four years of age. Blue And Gold Macaws are normally as smart and trainable as chimpanzees and dolphins. They are far more intelligent than the normally kept animal pets such as dogs, cats, and non domesticated kept animals.
What is very important here is that kids grow up. Blue And Gold Macaws do not grow up. They only grow older. They remain toddlers for life intelligence wise. In captivity as companion animals they just cannot and never will be able to take care of themselves. They will always rely on you.
Your kid, as time goes by learns hopefully to take some of the burden of care off of you. Your Blue And Gold companion will not. He doesn't want to either. Even with limiting what you can and cannot do with your life he will be quite content taking up most of your free time.
He knows that finding an adequate baby sitter is not easy to do and he loves that fact. He believes that where you go and what you do he should also go and do with you. A Blue And Gold Macaw relishes imposing himself upon you. Actually he more or less will demand he be fully involved in your life. He will not mind reminding you vociferously when excluded to much from your life.
He will instinctively adopt every bad behavior in his arsenal should you exclude him to much, to long, to often. A wise owner keeps his Blue And Gold companion very happy. Believe me. There is a price paid for not doing so.
At some point your kid will prefer being with their friends and away from mom and dad. Not so the companion bird, he knows why you have a shoulder, he will force you to use it too. A Blue And Gold Macaw is relentless in his need to be with you.
The best part of life with a Blue And Gold Macaw is. Unlike your kid he will never grow up and leave you. Whether you like it or not. He will always be there for you. Will you always be there for him?
Unfortunately to many people acquire one of these companions unprepared or unable to give him his due. He just needs to be your Blue And Gold toddler for life. So the question is actually. How won't a Blue And Gold Macaw be your life changer?
