These magnificent birds are the largest of the parrots but are not in the slightest bit intimidating. Hyacinth Macaws are, in fact, known for the shape of the beak that makes them look like they are sporting a mischievous grin eternally. These gentle giants are known for being super goofy and extremely affectionate pets. Like most parrots, the Hyacinth Macaw also forms very strong bonds with its owners and becomes a valuable part of the family in just a few days of its arrival. These birds can become the heart of any home. However, raising a Hyacinth Macaw is not the easiest task. These birds can be very notorious in their demands from the people that they have bonded with. They can also be a tad bit noisy if not trained properly. The fact that these birds are not scared of human beings sometimes makes them a threat to the safety of children. If not trained properly, these birds can be nippy. The slightest nip from these mandibles can harm a child or even an adult. So, you need to learn the secrets to raising a happy and healthy parrot if you want the bird to be safe around the house. Today these birds can only be bred in captivity and any trading is illegal. So if you want to bring home a beautiful Hyacinth Macaw, you need to make sure that you get a bird from the right sources, failing which you can be subjected to heavy fines and even jail time in most states. These are exotic birds that are native to South America. Needless to say, they have specific diet requirements and specific care needs. This book is a guide into the world of Hyacinth Macaw. It will help you understand all the basic requirements of your birds, with firsthand information provided by Macaw owners. Remember that you are taking home a great big goofy giant who is going to be a part of your family for at least two decades. Keep yourself updated with information related to these birds and ensure that you give them the care they need. If you are reading this, you are already half way there as you cared enough to look for help to raise your bird.
