What is Hyacint Macaw?

Hyacint Macaw, or anodorhynchus hyacinthinus, is an endangered species of parrot in Central South America, especially Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia. These birds usually reach an adult length of 3.3 feet (100 cm) and are considered the longest parrot in the world. The average adult hyacinth MacAW weighs £ 2.6 to 3.7 (£ 1.2 to 1.7 kilograms) and is generally dark blue throughout the body, except for two strips of yellow skin on both sides of the beak and yellow skin rings around the eyes. Birds in the wild usually achieve reproductive maturity at the age of about seven years and the reproduction period for Hyacint Macaw usually lasts from July to December. While young MacAs usually learn to fly at the age of about 110 days, they usually stay with their parents up to six months.

Threats for the world wild population of MacAs hyacinths include the loss of their natural habitat due to agricultural activities, hunting and exotic industry industry. Native tribes in the Hyacinth environment Macawova habitat noWhen they eat these birds and also use their feathers to make crafts for sale. Agricultural activities in the region are accused of killing many trees in which these parrots produce their nests and damage their ability to breed. Experts believe that, despite current legislation, many specimens are still illegally balanced to sale as exotic pets because they are very valuable exotic bird species.

These birds usually feed on fruit and palm nuts. They will often be cleaned up with palm nuts that have been consumed and excreted with cattle. While these birds usually build their nests in cliffs and trees, they usually look for food in deforested areas and grass lands. Because cattle in this area often feed on palm nuts, they can be often found in abundance on pastures. It is assumed that the digestive process can make pepal nuts easier for birds to open their beaks.

The average female Hyacint Macaw builds its nest in depression in a trunk of a tree or on a cliff. Before laying one or two eggs, it can fill the hole of the pieces of wood. When two eggs are laid, only one young Macaw survives, because the other generally hatches much later and gets less food than his sibling. Young birds are beginning to learn to fly when they are about 110 days. Generally leaves the care of their parents at the age of six months.
