Temperament: Macaws are playful and active, and have an exuberant peronality to go along with their size. This makes them a very challenging pet. They are also very affectionate, and in turn require a good deal of time and attention from their owners to be happy.
Speech and Vocalizations: Macaws are noisy. Their vocalizations can be loud and they can screech extrememly loudly! They do have a fairly good capability to mimic speech, although probably not as clearly as Amazons and African greys.

Blue And Gold Macaw she just loves playing with are dog

Blue and Gold Macaws

are the most popular. These are the clowns of the macaw world. They are very outgoing, intelligent, playful, and wonderful companions. However, they are most likely to test their owners and their boundaries. They are most often seen in bird shows due to their intelligence, their trainability and their outgoing antics. If acquired as handfed babies and handled by all members of the family, along with properly established rules, they are most likely to remain gentle to everyone. They love to play and are a high energy bird. They can be very loud. Their devotion is one of their outstanding traits. Sadly many are now gone from certain areas. In the 1960's they disappeared from parts of SE Brazil and in the 1980's they disappeared from areas in Trinidad. Thousands were exported yearly. From 1982-1984 over 18,000 were exported from Bolivia alone. Today they are almost gone from French Guiana and Surinam. They are probably the most popular and well known of the macaws. They are around 32-35 inches in length and they weigh around 900-1200 grams. Talking ability will vary between individuals

This is a Green Wing Macaw

Greenwing Macaw
Their name is misleading as they are predominantly crimson red with a band of green on the wing. The facial patch is traversed with red feathers which looks like Indian war paint. Not commonly bred in captivity, these extremely intelligent birds are inquisitive about everything. They are exceptionally interactive with people. The Greenwing has only recently become readily available as pets. Wild caught birds were difficult to breed and availability of domestic bred babies has lagged behind the demand. They are the smartest of the large macaws. Because of this, they are prone to mischief. Extremely intelligent birds with an ability to learn quickly. They are extremely socially interactive in a variety of settings. Much larger than either a Blue and Gold or a Scarlet Macaw. Along with the Buffon's and Hyacinths they are the largest of the parrot family. There are two subspecies of this species. One that is as large as a Hyacinth Macaw.


This is a Severe Macaw

Severe macaws are highly intelligent, playful, and probably the most sensitive of the mini-macaws. They are extremely quick learners. If everyone in the family works with them consistently, they can form bonds with all members of the family. They love to wrestle with their owners, sometimes giving painful but playful nips. This behavior is not meant to be aggressive, but rather it is in play. They can be noisy. They also can learn to talk, but are not famous for this trait. Though they are small, they have huge personalities. They are very affectionate and form strong bonds with their owners. They are around 18-19 inches in length and weigh around 300-450 grams.


This is a Ruby macaw

 The beautiful Ruby Macaw quickly reminds us of a Green-winged Macaw, but is distinguished by the addition of bright yellow and orange feathers scattered across the center of its back and wings!

   The Ruby Macaw is a hybrid cross between a Scarlet Macaw and a Green-winged Macaw and is quite attractive. Hybrids are usually bred for color rather than personality, so their characteristics can be uncertain.

   The personality of a Scarlet is such that it requires good socialization and a firm consistent hand in training, especially as it matures. The Green-wing is a very gentle, affectionate and sensitive macaw. The Ruby can have the characteristics of the Scarlet, but it can also incorporate the gentle nature of the Green-winged. Ruby Macaws can be a very affectionate and playful, good talkers, and fun pets that are very beautiful.
