Severe -
Talking Ability: Moderate
Noise Level: Moderate
Temperament:
With a colorful personality, the Severe Macaw or Chestnut-Fronted Macaw is all the fun of a large
Macaw rolled into a smaller package. The Severe Macaw is extremely social and loves to mimic speech
and be petted and played with. As with many of the mini macaw members, the Severe must be well
socialized as a youngster to prevent him from becoming a "one person bird". They are a playful,
animated bird that can be very "vocal" if spoiled. Their excitement and curiosity with their
environment reminds me very much of a child in a toy store that can't contain his excitement. Having
the capability to be excellent talkers, their vocal tendencies can be diverted into words instead of noise.
The youngsters, as with most parrots, also are well disciplined to teach them manners and acceptable
behavior.
