who can handle a large parrot that demands attention.

Temperament:

Intelligent and sociable, the Opaline macaw usually does well as a pet when the owners are dedicated, responsible, and well informed.

Because of this, they may not be the best choice for those who live in apartments and condominiums, or who have small children.

When allowed to socialize with a variety of people, Opaline Macaws do very well adapting to various situations. They’re a popular headliner at bird shows, and many owners take them out and about town with the help of bird leashes and car seats. Opaline Macaws  can be just as welcoming to other birds as they are to humans.

Around the house, these macaws can be as friendly as a dog. They enjoy being near their owners and will often wander around looking for someone who can give them attention. Their sweet personality is sure to make you drop whatever you’re doing for a little play time. They can also be quite content on their perch, watching the activity around them.
