ASP ref: ASP359

Name: Ches

Species: Blue and Gold Macaw

Description:

Meet Ches – The Sociable Showman

 Personality: Outgoing, affectionate, playful, and endlessly entertaining

Personality & Temperament

• Ches thrives on attention and adores being the center of it—whether it’s with adults, children, men, or women.

• He’s a natural performer: flapping his “big wings,” dancing, waving, and even talking like a pirate (“Arrr!”).

• Sociable and sweet-natured, Ches is gentle and loving once settled. He may offer a soft nip in the early days, but it’s never aggressive and quickly fades.

• He’s happiest perched on your shoulder, following you around the house like a loyal sidekick.

 Quirks & Fun Facts

• Loves to say “hello,” “bye bye,” and “night night” when covered.

• Will wave, bob to music, and mimic pirate talk for a pine nut.

• Doesn’t care much for toys—give him paper or a toilet roll tube and he’s content.

• Surprisingly tech-savvy: he enjoys sitting with kids and even having a go on the iPad.

 Ideal Home

• Ches would flourish in a lively, bustling household with plenty of interaction.

• He’s great with children and comfortable around other pets like cats and dogs.

Daily Routine

• Morning (7:30 AM): Cover off, morning nut, fresh water, chop, and pellets.

• Daytime: Free-roams the living room, joins household chores, interacts with family.

• Evening: Back in the cage during outings, then out again until bedtime.

• Bedtime (7:30–8:00 PM): Nut, cover, and a sweet “night night.”

 Diet & Treats

• Favorites: Oranges (top fruit), carrots, green beans, and chop.

• Treat of choice: Pine nuts—he’ll do just about anything for one!

• Feeding schedule: Chop or fruit in the morning, pellets throughout the day.

 Socialization & Other Animals

• Gets along well with other birds after a short adjustment period.

• Lives peacefully alongside cats and dogs.

• No signs of separation anxiety—comfortable being alone for short periods.

 Care & Maintenance

• Cage cleaned daily; deep cleaned every 8 days.

• Enjoys a daily misting shower—tolerates it, though not his favorite.

Ches is more than a pet—he’s a companion, a performer, and a heart-stealer. If you’re looking for a bird who brings joy, laughter, and a touch of pirate flair to your home, Ches might just be your perfect match.
