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.

A riot of glorious colour, one cannot fail to be amazed by the rainbow-like beauty of the Scarlet Macaw. Rather uncertain temperaments are something of a trade-mark of this enigmatic macaw, but there are of course always exceptions. Softer-feathered than many of its cousins, regular spraying is essential to maintain tip-top condition.
