A high-quality commercial pellet diet should provide the macaw parrot with most of the fats, protein and vitamins it requires. Fresh food, in small amounts, are recommended to be included in the pellets. This could include a assortment of fresh, diced fruits and vegetables, including dark greens, cooked eggs, lean beef, pasta and rice.

Avoid avocados (which can be toxic to parrots), celery and stringy vegetables. Nuts and seeds are a favorite for bird owners since they are easy to offer, but should not be the only source of food. The nuts and seeds are high in fat, and may be deficient in calcium, vitamin A and other nutrients. If a macaw eats these as their only food source, they is more susceptible to disease and have a shorter lifespan than if they were fed a balanced diet consisting of supplemented bird pellets as well as fresh fruits and vegetables. If a macaw gets its food correctly, it will become reproductively mature between three to four years of age. These birds are monogamous, and they will remain with their mate for life.
