I owned a Blue and Gold Macaw until he decided he loved the female Macaw my boss has at work.
They will chew and pick up anything with their beak!
My Macaw chewed through a microwave cord one morning when I wasn't looking and blew the thing up! He was very lucky nothing more than a slight burn on his face.
Macaw will also learn and trust me on this...how to open their own cages! Make sure your cage is secure when you leave him!
Has this bird been tested for any diseases? Yea, since I worked for an Exotic vet I am a freak about proper care for these guys.
If he hasn't been tested for anything...1 test I would recommend is Psittacosis. This disease is a zoonosis disease and can be transmitted to humans.
Anyway, I could go on and on here so, I'll stop now.
But yes, to your origianl question....Bird proof your home!
