Baby Hyacinth Macaw Parrot

Description

Baby hyacinth macaw Parrot, The Hyacinthine Macaw, also known as the Hyacinth Macaw, is the largest macaw species. They have an average length of about 42 inches and a wingspan nearing 4 feet. Their weight varies between 1200 to 1700 grams. These parrots are striking with their cobalt blue plumage, contrasting black beak, and yellow to light orange skin patches around their dark brown eyes and at the edge of their lower mandibles. In their natural habitat, Baby Hyacinth Macaw parrot live in small family units except during feeding and overnight roosting. During these times, they often gather in flocks ranging from 10 to 100 individuals. They make their nests in the hollow trunks of Manduvi trees in the Pantanal region of South America, as well as in trees and cliffs in certain northeastern areas of Brazil. Hyacinth Macaw parrots typically lay 1 to 3 white eggs. Sexual maturity is reached between 4 to 7 years of age. In all nesting areas, there has been severe habitat loss in the wild and the hyacinth macaw is on the endangered species list as a result. The large beak of the hyacinth macaw is specially adapted to open and consume tough palm nuts. The lower mandible serves as a chisel to pry the nuts apart, while the upper mandible provides a crushing surface. Palm nuts are so tough that even a hammer may fail to crack them. These nuts are composed of 50% saturated fat and have a relatively low protein content (9-11%). In contrast, commercially available nuts like almonds, filberts, and walnuts also contain 50% or more fat, but it is mostly mono-unsaturated or poly-unsaturated. Therefore, it's crucial for captive hyacinth macaws to receive nuts with a high proportion of saturated fat, such as macadamias, Brazil nuts, and fresh coconut meat, which are more accessible than palm nuts. Hyacinth macaws require a diet high in saturated fat and low in protein. A domestically raised, well-socialized hyacinth macaw parrot is delightful company. They are gentle, playful, affectionate, and highly intelligent. Quick learners, hyacinths require ample stimulation, daily interaction, and engagement with their human companions to remain content. As highly social creatures, they flourish with frequent handling and cuddling. Lacking a preening gland, regular bathing is essential for their care. Their formidable beaks necessitate a robust cage. Providing a range of wooden toys, especially hard woods, is vital for their well-being. The Hyacinth Macaw, the largest parrot species in the world, can reach an impressive length of 100 centimeters. True to their name, they boast bright blue plumage. They feature a bare yellow eye-ring, large black eyes, a yellow chin, and a strong, hooked beak. Their zygodactyl feet—two toes pointing forward and two backward—are notable. With proper care, a Blue (Hyacinth) Macaw's lifespan can extend up to 70 years. Their powerful beak can exert about 200 pounds of pressure per square inch, enough to snap a half-inch broomstick in one bite. Hyacinth Macaws are adept at using their toes like hands, which aids in climbing and handling objects, and they are known for their ability to cleverly disassemble or unlock their cages. These birds form strong bonds with their mates, with whom they share food and engage in mutual grooming, often mating for life. Macaws are known for their playful and curious nature, and they can mimic human speech remarkably well. They require a lot of toys, exercise, mental stimulation, and human interaction to stay active and engaged.   Live Arrival Guarantee: We take great pride in shipping extremely healthy and active birds to our customers.
