At times the Hyacinth can be a very noisy bird. However, it is somewhat placid in comparison with other large Macaws. They are inquisitive in nature and quickly become confiding, docile and extremely loving birds. They are hard chewers and often destructive. They have been known to chew through steel gauge bars, which can make accommodation difficult. A regular supply of thick branches and tree stumps must be provided to eliminate issues problematic of their chewing nature. They bathe frequently in the summer and enjoy being sprayed or misted.

The Hyacinth is the largest of all Macaws - growing three-and-a-half to four feet in length.

They are only common in few areas with original habitat. They have disappeared from greater parts of distribution areas and area regarded as endangered. Population is possibly less than twenty-five hundred birds. What a shame for this breathtaking species.
