Description

The Hyacinth Macaw benefits from 1-2 hours of daily exercise to keep their muscles healthy and plenty of room to move as its wing span can reach 4 feet in length so a very sturdy and very large cage or enclosure is a must. Also help your macaw maintain their strong beaks with plenty of chew toys. These Hyacinth Macaws are highly social birds and require a lot of interaction with their human caregiver in order to be emotionally happy.  They are not “loners,” and require company to be happiest. This macaw is a better choice for an experienced avian enthusiast as it will involve a long term time commitment, but it is a stunning companion. They will get along with other birds, particularly New World parrots, but individuals should be introduced early. Neglected or confined birds are often described as destructive and can exhibit self-mutilating behaviors such as feather-plucking. If they receive plenty of attention they will prove to be a friendly macaw species and interested in humans. They are intelligent and can learn a few words and phrases, and love to be verbally repetitive.
