• Loyal: Bonds closely with owners and can turn into emotionally bonding
• Gentle: Renowned to be patient and calm, even around children and other pets

These parrots live well in homes where they are not left for extended times. They require interaction daily, mental stimulation, and exercise in order to remain healthy and joyful.

Intelligence and Communication

Hyacinth Macaws are extremely clever birds who enjoy learning tricks, games, and routines. They are less vocal in their ability to talk compared to African Greys or Indian Ringnecks, but can be taught to mimic words and sounds, especially if trained daily.
• talking ability: Moderate – can learn a small vocabulary
• sound level: High – has the ability to produce a loud call, especially in the morning/evening
• communication: Uses vocalizations, posture, and facial expressions to connect and communicate needs

Their expressive personalities make them excellent pets for owners who enjoy interactive birds.

Housing Needs: Space and Stimulation

Because of their size and activity level, Hyacinth Macaws need very large cages and a great deal of out-of-cage time. This bird will not thrive in a small cage.

Recommended setup:
• Cage size: Minimum 48″” x 60″ x 72″
• Bar spacing: 1.5″ to 2″
• Out-of-cage time: 4–6 hours daily
• Toys and enrichment: Big chew toys, climbing, foraging toys, and swings

They also receive supervised outdoor time in a safety aviary or on a harness. Natural interaction and a stimulating environment are essential to prevent boredom and behavioral issues.

Diet and Nutrition: Varied and Nutritious

In the wild, Hyacinth Macaws subsist on a specialized diet of nuts and fruits, mostly palm nuts. In captivity, their diet needs to mimic this as closely as possible to keep them healthy.

Ideal diet includes:
• Macadamia nuts, Brazil nuts, walnuts, almonds
• Fresh vegetables and fruits like apples, carrots, squash, and greens
• Suitable macaw pellets as the main component
•>Slightly cooked grains and legumes from time to time
• Fresh, clean water daily

Avoid chocolate, caffein, avocados, and salty foods. A balanced and healthy diet is very important for feather health and longevity.

Health and Longevity

With good care, a Hyacinth Macaw can live for about 70 years, making it a lifelong companion.

• Beak overgrowth (due to diet imbalance)
• Feather plucking (as a sign of stress or boredom)
