Hyacinth Macaw For Sale

Hyacinth Macaw For Sale. The hyacinth macaw or blue macaw is the most stunning of the macaw family and is certainly the largest. It is the largest of all parrots. Originally from Brazil, Paraguay, and Bolivia, the hyacinth is the “Great Dane” of companion birds, with the mature male reaching over 40 inches in length. Very few people actually have a hyacinth macaw as a companion and will probably only have the pleasure of seeing one in a zoo or a larger bird shop. Despite its size, penchant for destruction, loudness, and expense, this blue macaw is the penultimate companion bird for the person who has the time, patience, and wallet to keep this beautiful beast properly.

The hyacinth maca is a stunning cobalt color all over its body, with a ring of bright yellow around its eye and the same color yellow at the base and the corners of its beak. We often referred to it simply as a “blue macaw.” The hyacinth is not twice as large as other large macaws, though its big personality makes other macaws seem like dwarves in its presence.

Hyacinth Macaw Native Region / Natural Habitat

The hyacinth maca lives primarily in the scrublands at the outskirts of the rainforest, though its large range also includes grasslands and lightly forested regions. It is an endangered species — there are an estimated 2,500 to 5,000 Hyacinth macaws left in the wild today. Destruction of their environment, hunting for feathers and food, and illegal poaching for the pet trade have contributed to the Hyacinth’s declining numbers.
