Description

The beautiful, cobalt-blue hyacinth macaw is the largest of all parrots. It is a rare
and threatened species that should be kept only by a very dedicated owner who can 
provide for needs that are as large as the bird itself. This is a bird that is more 
common in zoos than it is in private homes—and for good reason. It is a rare owner 
who has the time, patience, and financial resources to care for a unique and sensitive
bird that is nearly as large as a bald eagle.

Temperament:

Though somewhat frightening in appearance due to its enormous size and powerful, sharp hooked beak, the hyacinth macaw is something of a gentle giant. Hyacinths are quite gentle by nature. They are easily trained by positive reinforcement and tend to bond strongly with their human caregivers.

Hyacinth macaws have a wide variety of vocalizations, ranging from deep guttural growls and loud screeching to high trills. They are also capable of purring. They tend to make more noise when they form a large flock.

Size:

This largest of all parrots can measure as long as 40 inches from the beak to the tip of the tail, with a wingspan as large as 4 feet. Adults weigh in at 2.6 to 3.7 pounds.

Average Lifespan:

A hyacinth macaw that is well cared for in captivity can live more than 60 years. Diet is especially important in achieving this lifespan.
