Yes!! Were breeding Green wing macaws at work. make sure your cage is big enough so the male has enough room to mount the female. put a breeder box on the side of the cage filled with pine shavings so the female can lay her eggs. if you cant find a breeder box, a 55 gal plastic drum will work. just cut out one side and securely attach it to the side of the cage. cut a flap on the outside of the drum so you can safely check for eggs. i also want to warn you about how nasty these birds can get when theyre in heat. they dont mean to be nasty. they just want you to stay away from their mate.
the male might also pluck the feathers on the female's neck. it makes her look horrible but it grows back!!
they make wonderful pets but its up to you if you want to get huge cages for all those birds if you decide to keep them all.

Well, first of all macaws costs thousands of dollars, depending on what kind you're talking about. Second, they need very large cages and live as long as people. And they only have like one chick at a time. But, it's all been done before if you have the money and patience.

Yes, but they bite a lot so you have to start trainng them as soon as the mother lets go of them

They usually get very aggressive while they mate,so don't try taking them out of their cage.After you take the babies out -they might be nice again.
