Adopt a Macaw in Toronto & the GTA
Majestic, brilliant, and a lifetime commitment.
Macaws are the giants of the parrot world — breathtaking, deeply intelligent, and capable of bonds that last half a century. They need serious space, serious beak-proofing, and an adopter who understands that a macaw is a decades-long family member, not a decoration. When macaws come through BST Bird Rehoming, we look for experienced homes that can offer room, routine, and realistic noise tolerance.

What does a macaw need that smaller parrots don't?
Space (a cage the size of a small closet and a play area), an indestructible-toy budget, a household that tolerates very loud calls, and an adopter prepared for a 40+ year relationship.
Are macaws aggressive?
A well-socialized macaw is usually gentle, but their beaks demand respect — they can crack a brazil nut. Confident, experienced handling is essential, especially during the settling-in period.
Can I keep a macaw in a condo?
We'd almost never approve that — macaw calls easily penetrate concrete walls. A detached home is the realistic minimum.
How do I adopt a macaw through Bird Sitting Toronto?
Browse the available macaws above and apply directly on the bird's page — you'll fill in a short application and chat with our AI screening assistant, then the BST team reviews every application personally. If none are listed today, the waitlist gets first notice when one arrives.
