the momma chews up the nuts and feed it to their babies
Yes Hyacinth Macaws are endangered . They are very beautiful birds.
The hyacinth macaw lives up to 50 to 60 years.
Hyacinth macaws eat mostly palm nuts. They live in the scrub lands of the rainforests where cattle eat palm nuts and partially digest them making it easier for the macaws. In captivity they also eat fruit and vegetables.

No, hyacinth macaws are the largest of the macaws. If, by chance, you were referring to blue and yellow macaws, they are generally about the same size as red macaws.
Humans have taken many hyacinth macaws as pets and removed them from their habitat. Also humans have destroyed much of the habitat where the birds live. It is now against the law to capture hyacinth macaws in Brazil and Bolivia.
how should i know, bubby?
Jewel and Blu from the movie "Rio" are Spix Macaws. Not to be confused with blue and gold macaws or hyacinth macaws, Spix macaws are very endangered in captivity and appear to be extinct in the wild.

Blu and Jewel Are rare and endangered Blue Macaws.
it is easy to catch a macaw because they are not afraid of humans and they are very loud.
I have seen estimates upwards of $80,000 for a pair of breeding hyacinth macaws, banded as bred in captivity, in the USA. They are highly endangered in the wild and are not the best of breeders in captivity. They are very large birds who need large flight cages. They are very intelligent birds and need a great amount of care when they are babies, and the care is longer than most all other birds. Properly weaned and trained, it can take a year to raise one baby hyacinth macaw.
