Hi all! I’ve been thinking about getting a scarlet macaw and have come across a few listings online. However, I want to make sure I’m getting a healthy bird from a good source. Does anyone here have experience buying a scarlet macaw? What should I be looking for to avoid scams or unhealthy birds?

ParrotPro is right, always ask for a health certificate and don’t trust online ads without thoroughly checking the seller’s background. Another thing to look for is the bird’s feather condition—healthy scarlet macaws have vibrant feathers, not dull or patchy. Also, you’ll want to know if the bird was hand-raised. Hand-raised macaws are generally more social and easier to train. Be ready for a big commitment, though—these birds need a lot of attention and care!
Hi all! I recently bought a scarlet macaw for sale and wanted to share some tips. When looking for a healthy bird, check for signs like bright eyes, clean feathers, and a lively demeanor. Make sure the seller is reputable—ask about their breeding practices and health guarantees. I had a positive experience with CJ Parrots Farm, where they provided detailed information and ensured the bird was in excellent condition. It’s worth doing thorough research and buying from trusted sources to avoid scams and ensure you get a healthy companion. Hope this helps!
