up to 60 Yrs.The beginnings of the Flame Macaw start with the Catalina Macaw which
has two very popular types of macaws as its parents. The Scarlet Macaw,
one of the most highly favored, is described as "beautiful and
striking". The Scarlet has been the best known South American parrot for
over 100 years. The other parent, the Blue and Gold Macaw, has been one
of the most popular pet birds in the trade, renowned not only for its
beauty but for its sweet nature and speaking ability. With the Catalina
mix was added the "gentle giant" Green-winged Macaw, lending a gentle
bird with an amiable nature. The Flame Macaw inherits all these other
macaws beautiful coloring and a complex personality!
The parentage of the Flame Macaw is an interesting mix for a pet bird.
This is a hybrid parrot that is very attractive with the intelligence
and temperament of it parents. It should be quite trainable, learn to
talk and do tricks, and have an amiable nature. But the fiery Scarlet
may also introduce a bit of an indomitable spirit. As with all macaws,
the Flame Macaw will require good socialization and a firm consistent
hand in training, especially as it matures.
DIET: Diet consists of a pelleted blend, veggies, fruits, nuts, and seeds as treats. A small amount of white meat, such as chicken is occasionally welcomed as well, as is completely cooked egg.
