A powerful, intelligent, gentle, curious bird that requires plenty of opportunity to chew. Standard metal cages will not do for a Hyacinth Macaw; stainless steel is recommended. Bars smaller than 3 mm are not recommended, and the cage must be inspected often for damage. 
DIET: Consumes more fats and carbohydrates, and less protiens. Needs a daily serving of nuts, such as macadamia, brazil, and walnuts. Low protien pellets, veggies, and fresh fruit should also be made available.
