Native to central and eastern South America, the hyacinth macaw is the largest known parrot species, measuring over three feet tall from head to tail. They can be purchased as a pet but are demanding due to their size and personality, and are a good fit for only experienced owners. History: Sadly, due to illegal capture and habitat loss, the hyacinth macaw is classified as a vulnerable species on the conservation status spectrum. Thankfully, the hyacinth macaw is protected by multiple laws in many of the regions it's endemic too, and long-term conservation initiatives have been put in place to help their population numbers stabilize. Scientific Name: Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus Characteristics: Like many larger parrot species, the hyacinth macaw can live to be 80 years old, meaning you'll have this feathered friend for many years to come! Size: 2 inches tall and 4.5 inches long, our hyacinth macaw toy figurine is a touch smaller than a soda can resting on its side.
