Hyacinth macaw or hyacinthine macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus) 100 cm (39 in) long, 120-140 cm (48-56 in) wingspan. It is almost entirely blue and has black under the wings. It has a large black beak with bright yellow along the sides of the lower part of the beak and also yellow eyerings. [5] South America Lear's macaw or indigo macaw
It includes two extant species, the hyacinth macaw and Lear's macaw also known as the indigo macaw, and one probably extinct species, the glaucous macaw. At about 100 centimetres (39 in) in length the hyacinth macaw is the longest parrot in the world. Glaucous and Lear's macaws are exclusively cliff nesters; hyacinth macaws are mostly tree nesters.
Neiva Maria Robaldo Guedes, or Neiva Guedes (born 10 December 1962 in Ponta Porã) is a Brazilian biologist and a specialist on environment and species conservation.. In November 1989, Neiva came across a flock of hyacinth macaws in the Pantanal and, knowing that they were in danger of extinction, she began to work on cataloguing and conserving the species with her own means.
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. [13] Eggs are also regularly preyed on by corvids such as jays and crows, [14] [15] opossums, [14] skunks [15] and coatis.
Pam Wright explained, "Florida's wild parrots are being poached, sold on the internet, and it's perfectly legal." [17] In the documentary Parrots in Peril, Neil Losin argues, "Wherever you find wild animals that have commercial value in the pet trade—cities included—poaching can become a problem".

A macaw's facial feather pattern is as unique as a fingerprint. [4] The largest macaws are the hyacinth, Buffon's (great green) and green-winged macaws. While still relatively large parrots, mini-macaws of the genera Cyanopsitta, Orthopsittaca and Primolius are significantly smaller than the members of Anodorhynchus and Ara.
No matter where you live, you can find dozens--if not hundreds--of adoptable dogs in rescues and shelters near you. From owner surrenders to stray intakes, each shelter dog has a story worth telling.
Despite belonging to a different genus, hybrids between the hyacinth macaw and Ara species have also been produced. [3] [4] Because macaw species are able to hybridize and produce viable offspring, scientists study and breed them in captivity to better understand hybridization, and understand their importance in preserving endangered macaw species.
