Hyacinth Macaw

The Hyacinth Macaw, whose scientific name is Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus, is a parrot-like bird native to Central and South America. With a length of about one meter, it is the longest parrot specie. While it is easily recognized, it is sometimes confused with the smaller Lear's macaw. The Hyacinth Macaw's population is declining, which is why they've been designated as a vulnerable species.

It is also well-known as one of the most beautiful bluebirds. The blue plumage of this parrot is accented with a few yellow feathers and a golden ring around their black eyes. Some of the birds in this species have blackish-blue plumage. Females and males have nearly identical physical appearances, making it difficult to distinguish them based on looks alone. The young birds of the Hyacinth Macaw are identical to the adults. They are captured and marketed as pet birds due to their attractive appearance. As a result, their population has decreased.
