Hyacinth Macaw

   With an impressive length of 100 cm, the hyacinth macaw is the largest of all flying species of parrots in the world. They mainly inhabit in semi-open areas and  savanna grasslands of Northern Brazil. Their population have been declined in the past few years. Today only less than 5000 Hyacinth Macaws left in the world. The habitat loss and hunting are main threats to hyacinth macaw.

   Besides the large size, the Hyacinth Macaw is famous for their striking cobalt blue plumage with bright yellow rings around the eyes. Because of the stunning coloration, the Hyacinth Macaw also called as ‘blue macaw’. They also have a beautiful long tail and strong and curved black bill.

   With proper training, Hyacinth Macaws could be an excellent pet. You should also give them a lot of space to make them comfortable. They are very playful and not so good at imitating words like some other members of the Macaw family.

 You should be aware of the powerful bill of Hyacinth Macaws. It can’t be guaranteed that they won’t bite you even with proper caring and training. The Hyacinth Macaws also can be extremely loud when they are in a group.
