A large macaw has the bite strength of 500 to 700 pounds per square inch, which is close to that of a large dog bite.
Just watching a large macaw or cockatoo crush a Brazil nut, rip a 2-by-4 into shreds or break a weld on metal cage bars convinces most that a bird’s beak is powerful and not to be messed with.

Haha sheesh I was hoping one of you would take him. T-man, yea will give someOne stiches quickly. 500 lbs pressure like Torcan said. He loves to chew wood and plastic baby toys. Wife and I have fed him from 5 weeks old. He wont bite us but probly would someone else untill he got to know them.
Mike i thought you knew I was a pirate lol
Nacny I keep his wings cut. He cant fly. He walk over to the side of the n looks down at the water then up at me like he know its not a good idea to go anywhere
