Because of complaints by conciencious bird owners, Petco finally agreed to stop selling large parrots (macaws and cockatoos.) Your best bet is a breeder- search the internet or parrot magazines for one in your area. HOWEVER, there are several different kinds of macaws. The wording of your question "...these Macaw parrots..." leads me to believe that you don't know much about them. Macaws are VERY difficult to care for in terms of parrots, have long life spans (60+ years) specific housing requiements, a high intelligence (read this as many behavior problems including biting, LOUD SCREAMING, feather plucking, etc.) and the need for a varied diet. I suggest that you do some reading and talk to macaw owners before deciding to adopt one.

This is a scam. Their is a lot of scams out their where they don't even have a bird, but they pretend they have a bird for sale. They want you to money gram them the money because it is untraceable on who picks up the money on the other end. Once they get the money you will never hear from them again. They might send you a picture of the bird that they say they have for sale, but it is easy to get pictures of birds off of the inter-net. DON'T DO IT!

be very careful! many, if not most, macaw's are being sold illegally, so make certain that this is not a scam, just to take your money. deal only with recognized dealers. i would be particularly concerned because $200 is very cheap. a young macaw would be worth maybe ten times that amount.
good luck!

typical scam....don't send any money. If you want a parrot go to a reliable breeder in your area.
