Macaws

Blue & Gold Macaws

Also known as the Blue & Yellow Macaw, hand-fed babies make wonderful pets!  They are playful, comical, mischievous, extremely intelligent, and lovable Blue & Golds have the capability of speaking quite well.  However, they do not mimic human voices the way that African Greys and Amazons do in tone and inflection.  They have their own unique voices and aren’t afraid to use them!

Given the appropriate nutritional requirements in a nurturing environment, the Blue & Gold Macaw for sale can have a lifespan of 60 to 80 years. Measuring between 32 to 34 inches in length, the Blue & Gold requires the largest cage possible to keep him happy and healthy.  We recommend the Kings Model 506 Cage, which will allow for plenty of room to play and wing-flap to eliminate boredom while being caged.

Your Macaw should be given plenty of daily time outside his cage.  We carry a wide variety of play stands that allow your bird to have hours of fun outside of his cage.

Catalina Macaws

The Catalina Macaw is a hybrid that is produced by breeding a Scarlet Macaw and a Blue & Gold Macaw.  The offspring will usually inherit the physical build and size of the male bird.  Their coloring depends upon whether the male is a Scarlet or a Blue & Gold.  Our male birds are Scarlets and the females are Blue & Golds, which gives their offspring a similar appearance to the Harlequin Macaw.

The personality of the Catalina is a combination of both the Blue & Gold Macaw and the Scarlet Macaw.  They tend to have the friendly disposition of the Blue & Gold which softens the more high-strung tendencies of the Scarlet Macaw.  Catalinas are very intelligent, playful, eager to learn, and can become good talkers.

As with other larger Macaws, the Catalinas need the largest cage possible, which is why we recommend the Kings Model 506 Cage.  This cage is durable and has a bird-proof latch, which is very important when owning any Macaw.

As with any Macaw, it’s important for Catalina owners to set the proper limits and boundaries as early as possible.  The way in which a Catalina is handled as a baby plays an important role in the development of their social skills and personality.

Greenwing Macaws

While they are called Greenwing Macaws, their name is often misleading because they are a beautiful blend of red with green and blue colors on their wings.

Greenwing Macaws for sale are sometimes confused with Scarlet Macaws because they are both primarily red, but this is their only similarity.  There are many differences in the appearance and temperament of these two Macaws.  The Greenwing Macaw has a band of green feathers across the center of its wings, whereas the Scarlet Macaw has a yellow band of feathers across the center of its wings.  The Greenwing has red feather lines on its face, whereas the Scarlet has a bare facial patch.

Given the appropriate nutritional requirements in a nurturing environment, the Greenwing Macaw can have a lifespan of 60 to 80 years or more. Measuring between 32 to 36 inches in length, the Greenwing Macaw requires the largest cage possible.  We recommend the Kings Model 506 Cage.  Greenwings generally reach maturity between 4 to 5 years of age.

While Greenwing Macaws are known to be “gentle giants,” they also have a mischievous nature, which frequently leads them into trouble.  It is important for your Greenwing to have large, tough toys to accommodate his chewing habits and to prevent boredom.

Greenwings and Blue & Golds both possess good temperaments, and the Harlequins inherit the best of both species.  They have the laid back, easy-going nature of the Greenwing combined with the playful, mischievous nature of the Blue & Gold.  As with most Macaws, the Harlequins are highly intelligent, very affectionate, and eager to learn.  Harlequins can also become good talkers.

Scarlet Macaws

Scarlet Macaws are stunningly beautiful with their bright yellow bands on each wing, combined with the red coloring on their bodies and upper wings and the royal blue on their lower wings, make a striking contrast.

Scarlet Macaws are sometimes confused with Greenwing Macaws because they are both primarily red, but this is their only similarity. There are many differences in the appearance and temperament of these two Macaws. The Scarlet Macaw has a band of yellow feathers across the center of its wings, whereas the Greenwing Macaw has a green band of feathers across the center of its wings. The Scarlet Macaw has a bare facial patch and the Greenwing Macaw has red feather lines on its face.

The Scarlet Macaw is usually very different in temperament than a Blue & Gold or Greenwing.  The Scarlet has a reputation for being nippy and tends to be more high-strung and sensitive to fast movements than the other large Macaws. This doesn’t necessarily lessen a Scarlet’s qualifications as a pet. However, it does suggest that a potential buyer should be experienced in parrot psychology and handling in order to best manage a Scarlet.  Even as a youngster, if a Scarlet finds that he can control or scare you by nipping, this will very quickly turn into biting.   It is important to never react to a nip or pinch with aggression towards the bird, as it will scare a young Scarlet and eventually lead to an aggressive bird.
