Ziggy Our Scarlet Macaw
The Scarlet Macaw is one of the most colorful parrots available in the pet trade. In the wild they can live for up to 40 years in the forests all over Central America.
In captivity, they should have ample space to move around and play. They should be provided with various chewing toys to help exercise their jaw muscles and beak muscles.
Ziggy's Story
Macaws are a huge species of parrots. Beautiful birds, they are a joy to keep. They require a large cage and plenty of outdoor time to play and exercise. If they are not active enough, they could become bored and begin self-mutilating or plucking their feathers. To keep them from becoming bored you should provide them with chew toys and surfaces to help trim their beaks. You can also use the cargo net of a parrot to allow your macaw to climb and play.
The macaw with the scarlet color is a stunning bird with a large array of red, yellow blue and blue feathers. These vibrantly colored birds are known for their loud and raucous calls. severe macaw and squawks can be heard for miles. Their strong beaks are designed to break into seeds, nuts and other plant matter.
The scarlet macaw is native to the rainforests in Central and South America including southeast Mexico. It is attracted by humid evergreen forests at altitudes between 1,000 and 3000 feet. They eat seeds, nuts and fruits as well as leaves and berries. They are a small group and can be bonded with humans if they are raised by hand from an early age. They can become aggressive during their breeding season.
A pet with a single scarlet macaw could be an excellent companion, but the bird can become focused on one person and require lots of attention and interaction. It is best to train young scarlet macaws at an early age to be social with the entire household. If a young scarlet macaw isn't getting enough attention, it could get bored and resort to self-mutilation.
Scarlet macaws can be noisy but they do have the ability to speak. They are not recommended for homes with children under 10 years old as they could bite. The scarlet macaw could have a vocabulary that ranges between five and ten words. They are confident and often assertive, and can be formidably aggressive during breeding season.
Ziggy's Habitat
Ziggy and three other macaws in scarlet have a large, outdoor and indoor habitat. Their home is equipped with a spacious flight wing, numerous toys and feeders, and a climbing wall. The birds are allowed to wander around their natural habitats and interact with one another throughout the day. In the evening, the macaws return to their hideouts where they eat dinner and new enrichment items to work on overnight.
A typical scarlet Macaw can last up to 15 years in captivity and is well adapted to interaction with humans. Their diets are designed specifically for their species, and the birds enjoy a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds. The macaws of scarlet also love to chew. A rotating supply of durable toys that can stand up to the powerful jaws and beaks of a parrot is essential for its health.
In the wild, the scarlet macaw is found in Central and South America. It is a monogamous bird and each pair lives together for their entire existence. They mate between January and March, with the female placing two or three white eggs in a cavity in the tree. The eggs hatch within five weeks and the chicks depart their parents around a year later. The loud squawks of scarlet macaws allow them to communicate over long distances.
The zoo, employing techniques learned from the pet trade has also contributed to the growth of the scarlet macaw population in the wild. Zoo Knoxville's conservation efforts include providing egg incubation assisted hatching hand rearing, as well as parent-rearing. Zoo Knoxville's staff educates public about conservation of wildlife and animal welfare.
In its own way, Ziggy is an inspiration for our own environmental education efforts. He is a symbol for how we can all make a a difference by being the change we wish to see. We hope to reach out to more people, both adults and children, this year with our education programs.

They are a joy to play with and fly with their human companions, but they also require lots of time outside the cage or they might become depressed. This can result in problems with behavior, such as feather grabbing, which can result in self-mutilation. They enjoy swings, other enrichment items and a specialized diet that includes seeds, grains, and dried fruits.

Ziggy's Training
The striking feathers of the scarlet macaw and vibrant personality make it one of the most sought-after parrot species kept in captive settings. This large parrot is found in tropical rainforests all over Central and South America.
They are monogamous and have a long-lasting relationship, usually beginning their breeding cycle about one year after reaching sexual maturity. The hen typically lays three or two white eggs, which hatch in five weeks. The chicks leave the nest 90 days after hatching, and their parents leave about a year afterwards.
These birds are ideal for those with the time and the money to give them the best care. They are smart and social, and can be taught a wide variety of tricks and behaviors. While they can be noisy at times, they are primarily playful and curious. Like all parrots, they require a healthy diet that includes a formulated mix, fresh fruits, vegetables, and greens high in calcium, like Kale.
The most significant threats to the scarlet macaw include habitat loss due to destruction of rainforest and a massive exploitation for trade in pets. They are also on the CITES Appendix I list which means that commercial trade with these birds is banned.
