Macaw Weekly Meal Plan

Macaws enjoy diversity. And if you have the time and motivation, feeding your macaw an individual daily diet is a great way to keep them mentally stimulated. It's also a great way to ensure they are getting the proper nutrients throughout the week. We've created a weekly meal plan specified just for a macaw's needs.
