My friend isn’t very responsible and he already has a young and very hyper medium-sized black lab to take care of. He’s also in debt BIG TIME. But he wants to get a Blue and Gold Macaw. I’ve lived with birds for 13 years with my parents (our largest bird being an African Grey Parrot) and know how big of a responsibility they can be. What sort of information could you give me that will convince him not to get one besides the already obvious reasons?
Everyone has offered some GREAT opinions on this matter and I appreciate it. But I can only pick ONE of you so no hard feelings?

The expensive upkeeping just sit him down and tell him how long these birds live and tell him down and tell him.

Tell him that Macaws need attention ALL DAY. Tell him that they are veerrryy noisy.. And if he’s more materialistic, tell him how much money he’d waste if he had to give away his macaw because it was just too much.

For the unexpected ones would not to have proper diet not suggest him going ot rescue and not to have demands hope this helps some.
