SalarMan 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2023 To the best of my knowledge there is no sub for Blue & Gold Macaw. Turkey tail dyed blue would be the best I can think of...but to get one side yellow and the other blue...I don't think so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue and Gold Macaw is the tail feather of the blue and gold macaw. The upper side (on the bird) is blue and the underside is yellowish. You'll want 2, one from each side of the tail, and of the same size. Or if you can get a center tail (has same length fibers on each side of the stem (rachis). Look on ebay or at a pet bird store. Can't be imported or exported but readily available inside the US. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
