Blue and gold question - 2008/05/18 23:22 Hello!

I have a Blue and Gold macaw that is a 14 month old female. We just got her Thursday, but she is reacting well to us and her new home. I do have 2 questions:

Why does she bob her head up and down?

And, what does it mean when her eyes dilate?

Thanks to any who can help!!

Blue and gold question - 2008/05/19 12:57 Hi Sugarmama, welcome to the forum and... congratz on your new Macaw. The bobbing of the head can have two reasons (if not more) one of them being regurgitating and the other being excited or wanting to make an impression
Also, when a bird dilate his eyes it means he is happy to see you, trying to show off

Blue and gold question - 2008/05/19 14:34 Thanks!! I am glad to know they are good things! She only started doing it yesterday, so I guess she is becoming more adapted to us!

Any tips on the bird eating table scraps? The vet told us to feed her chicken or turkey and to give her a chicken bone for protein, but so far she is not eating any of it, nor will she eat pasta!
