Where can i find a macaw that costs less than $100?
The CHEAPEST macaw that you are going to find will be $1000 if you're lucky! Unless you get a temperamental one that you've rescued that will bit your hand of, quite literally, my friend's macaw broke her wrist (yikes, big bone!) If you are financially unstable then a bird of any kind is not for you, my Eclectus parrot cost me $1500 and he's getting more expensive by the minute! Their food, toys and cages cost a fortune! Aswell as things like playqyms and things like that to keep them busy. Wood needs to be supplied for chewing, especially for a macaw. A sturdy macaw cage will cost you $1000+ They break welds like there's no tomorrow. They can live for 50+ which means 50+ years of expenses and vet care. They are wonderful birds, if you can handle them well. But if you don't have the money don't even think of one. A cheap bird will probably have behavioural problems and a cheap cage will be DESTROYED WITHIN 24 HOURS! I don't want to see a macaw end up in a place where it can't be looked after. Sorry. If you're willing to pay about $5000 for the original cost of the bird, a macaw cage, and lots of interesting toys then go ahead! If oyu aren't, get a budgie.
