Hyacinth macaws are rich cobalt blue with deep golden colored eye ring and pre-jaw and are dark gray underneath flight wings and tail feathers. Their huge, gray-black bill deeply curves down into a sharp point adapted for consuming hard nuts. Hyacinths weigh 2.5-lbs, reach 40-inches and live 60+ years. These rare Brazil/Bolivia Pantanal native birds nest in Maduvi trees and cliff-sides residing in small groups and mate lifelong. Vocalizations are lower frequency than other macaws.
