Hyacinth Macaws

Because of their stunning blue feathers and golden markings around the eyes and beak, Hyacinth Macaws are among the most attractive creatures on the planet. They're also the world's largest flying parrot. Both of these factors contribute to a high asking price, which can reach $40,000 in some situations. In fact, some of that cost may be due to the fact that these birds are becoming endangered, and acquiring one in your area may be illegal.

Blue macaws will be more expensive than other macaw species due to their rarity. They'll also be harder to come by for sale. However, blue and gold macaw prices are among the lowest of all macaws because of their vast distribution. Aside from the cost of purchasing a hyacinth macaw, you'll need to budget for a few more one-time expenses to get your bird settled in their new home and afford the ongoing costs of caring for a Hyacinth Macaw.
