Hyacinth macaw

The hyacinth macaw is the world's largest flying parrot, known for its striking cobalt-blue feathers and bright yellow eye rings and facial patches. Native to central South America, especially Brazil, these intelligent, social birds thrive in savannas and forests. They are primarily seed eaters, feeding on nuts like almonds and palm seeds. Hyacinth macaws are prized for their beauty and can live up to 50 years in captivity. Due to habitat loss and illegal trading, they are considered vulnerable, prompting conservation efforts to protect these majestic and rare birds.
