Description
5/40 Hyacinth Macaw

Meet the largest of all the parrots “The Hyacinth Macaw” perched on a Lecythis pisonis also called the cream pot or monkey pot tree with beautiful monarch butterflies.

The hyacinth macaw is a parrot native to central and eastern South America. With a length (from the top of its head to the tip of its long pointed tail) of about one meter it is longer than any other species of parrot. It is the largest macaw and the largest flying parrot species.

Habitat loss and the trapping of wild birds for the pet trade have taken a heavy toll on their population in the wild, so the species is classified as Vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List.

The Hyacinth macaw mostly nests in Manduvi trees, which rely on the toco toucan for 83.3% of the tree’s distribution of seeds. The toco toucan also feeds on 53% of the hyacinth macaw’s offspring as eggs.

Hope you enjoyed the artwork and learned some facts about this beautiful bird.
