Their beautiful white face skin with black line feathering gives them that classic macaw charm.
• Length: 18–20 inches
• Weight: 350–450 grams
• Lifespan: 30–50 years if properly cared for
• Color: Blue with green flight feathers and chestnut crown

Their average size is a great choice for anyone who wants to have the looks and personality of a big macaw in smaller, more manageable size.

Personality: Social, Affectionate, and Energetic

Severe Macaws are characterized as friendly, interactive, and loving. They become close with their owners and want to be included in the daily routine. Severe Macaws are highly intelligent, curious, and adore being given frequent attention.

Personality traits:
• Affectionate: Adores cuddles, head scratches, and perching on your shoulder
• Playful: Loves toys, swinging, and climbing
• Loyal: Only develops strong connections with one or two people
• Intelligent: Leans tricks and routines quickly
•Energetic: Needs space to roam and explore

Because they are highly social, they do well in homes where they are given lots of attention. If they are left alone too often, they get loud or destructive, so daily interaction is necessary.

Ability to Talk and Communicate

Severe Macaws are excellent talkers for their size and can learn to use a lot of words and phrases. They also learn to mimic and enjoy vocalizing to interact with their environment.
• talking ability: Moderate to high (especially with training)
• Noise level: Moderate – louder than conures, not as loud as large macaws
• Communication style: Imitates speech, whistles, and uses expressiveness through body language

With regular training and socialization, most Severe Macaws become good talkers and entertaining companions.

Housing and Environment

Although smaller compared to their large macaw counterparts, Severe Macaws need a spacious and stimulating environment to remain healthy and well-adjusted.

Cage specifications:
• Minimum size of cage: 36″ x 30″ x 48″
• Bar spacing: ¾” to 1″
• Out-of-cage time daily: 3–4 hours recommended
• Toys: wood chew toys, puzzle toys, swings, and ladders

Because of their intelligent nature, they require mental stimulation. Rotate toys often and play and train your parrot daily in order to keep it stimulated.

Diet and Nutrition

Savage Macaws require a well-balanced and varied diet for their high energy level, brilliant color, and immunity.

Good diet includes:
• Pellets: High-quality macaw pellets as a base
• Fresh vegetables: Kale, carrots, peppers, spinach
• Fruits (moderately): Mango, berries, apples (no seeds)
• Seeds and nuts: Almonds, walnuts, and sunflower seeds (treats)
• Fresh water: Always fresh and available

Avoid poisonous foods like chocolate, caffeine, avocado, alcohol, and chips. A nutritious diet gives them the maximum lifespan and improves their mood and energy.

Health and Lifespan

With good care, Severe Macaws will live 30 to 50 years or more and are a long-term companion. Annual check-ups with an avian vet, a clean living space, and adequate enrichment are necessary.

Health issues that commonly arise include:
• Feather plucking (due to stress or boredom)
• Obesity (due to bad diet or lack of exercise)
• Respiratory problems (due to poor cleanliness)
• Beak and nail overgrowth (if enrichment is inadequate)

With proper attention and care, your Severe Macaw can have a long, healthy, and happy life.
