Monthly cost for keeping these birds?

[G DOG]

So I would like to give a list of birds and hopefully people can tell me how much it costs to keep each of these birds each month and what the money is spent on. The birds are:

Blue and Gold Macaw
Hyacinth Macaw
Toco Toucan
Keel Billed Toucan

Please please please give me a detailed explanation of how much money can be spent on a single bird monthly and what the money is spent on. Thanks for reading and answering :)
Some one said it costs them mothly a 1000 dollars each for vet. I find that to be completely bullshit as I know many people who own birds and they only take them to the VET once.
Also can any of these birds chew their way through aviary mesh?

Big birds are really expensive to have. If the monthly expense is a factor, i strongly urge you to not get any of these birds. To purchase these birds The Blue and gold will cost you $1400ish, the hyacinth will cost you $10,000ish, and im pretty sure toucans go for about 6000ish.

On top of that you are looking at spending about 800 for a cage. and if you live in a warm area, you should also have an outdoor cage. Macaws will destroy cheap cages.

The monthly expenses aren't that bad as i spend about 20 bucks a week on fresh fruit. I make my own toys, which means every month i go to a craft store and spend about 20 bucks. I also buy seed/pellets and spend about 20 a month.
So expect to spend 120 a month on supplies.

But honestly, if you are buying a 10,000 dollar bird, the monthly expenses should not be a factor. The main considertion should be your ability to spend the appropriate time with the bird.

A hyacinth can bite down at 1500 lbs of pressure, which means bones and thin metal bars are easily destroyed. If you do not spend the time to properly train and handle these birds, you will end up in the hospital.

hope this helps, and make sure you read TONS of websites and forums about owning a large bird. (www.mytoos.com is for cockatoos, but extremely good at ing the eyes of any person that is considering owning a large parrot )
