5 Year Old Severe Macaw Progress After Month 35 Year Old Severe Macaw Progress After Month 3. We have been working on our trust of each other. She has gone from eating only pistachios to she gets them as a treat during our training sessions. She is served fresh chop every morning but hasn't touched it and organic pellets in the evening and she likes to put her face in the pellets and shake her head so all the pellets end up on the floor, hahaha. But she will eat what I am eating. Next month I am going to be eating chop for breakfast every day to see if that works.
