Adopt Bailey & Ozzie

Female · Senior · 30 years

Bailey and Ozzie are a bonded Pair of B&G Macaws. Ozzie is approximately 30 years old and Bailey is 14 years old and DNA Male. History/Background: Bailey and Ozzie came into the charity in 2025. Current Condition: Bailey has pretty perfect feathers. Ozzie is rather tatty especially his tail. Training: We are working on it! This will need to be an ongoing process. Both birds are well behaved, they usually go back to the cage when you ask them to and put their food in. Bailey is usually first then Ozzie follows. You can't handle either of them, they don't step up to hands as they never have never been taught. Ozzie will always step up on a stick if you need to move him, but Bailey only sometimes will. They will both take treats gently from your hand. Ozzie is a lot more nervous though and stays back, he likes to fluff up and lunge, to scare you off. Bailey is definitely more outgoing and willing to learn. He's the boss! Diet: The boys have chop/fresh veg during the day and Tidymix or J&J low Sunflower/nuts in the evenings. They love sweet red peppers and their favourite nuts are cashews and walnuts. Ozzie eats more fresh food than Bailey, he is harder to convince. They do need two bowls of everything, so they have one each. However sometimes Bailey likes to think that they are all his! Enrichment: Neither Bird is used to having toys, and there were no suitable size perches in their cage. They now have toys and a variety of perches. They don't mind parrot toys in the cage but do not really play with them. They enjoy scrunched up brown paper and shredding cardboard boxes. Bailey likes to throw cereal boxes from the top of the cage, and he thinks it's great! Bailey also loves a shower, Ozzie doesn't mind, but not as enthusiastic! Summary: They are beautiful birds and have been a pleasure to safe house. I believe with a lot of TLC and patience they will come along in leaps and bounds. Bailey especially as he is a lot more responsive and willing to learn and interact with you. They need a home with a firm, confident owner, who is used to big birds. These guys are not tame, cuddly birds. They are happy doing their own thing. They are used to being out of the cage all day, sitting together and watching the world go by, or waddling round the floor, chewing cardboard, following each other like little ducks. They do everything together! Oz does like to run and chase feet though. So watch your toes! Bailey can be quite loud, but not too often. Ozzie is quieter. You do not hear a peep out of them between 8pm and 8am. When you say night night to them they both say ‘hello, hello, hello!' in tandem like twins. They are used to having a female main carer at present. Both of them let me clean the cage everyday with no problems at all, they like watching to make sure I'm doing it right. They will happily sit on their long perch or on top of the cage while I change the papers and wipe down the bars. Bailey loves showing off and hanging from the roof of the cage by his beak! Ozzie is just the best dancer and loves to show you his big wings! Are you interested in adopting? Our commitment to the health and well-being of our parrots is first within our work.
