    Macaws are the biggest and most expensive birds.
    Hyacinth Macaw ($8-10,000)
    Blue/Gold Macaw ($1,000-1,500)
    Green Wing Macaw ($1,800-$2,000)
    Bluethroat Macaw (rare — only 300 breeding pairs — $2,000 each)

    The Hyacinth Macaw in not just the largest parrot in the world, but one of the most striking in appearance. Its gray and black bill, gray undersurface feathers and bare golden eye rings create a beautiful contrast with the bird’s cobalt blue coloring.

    This Macaw’s bill is curved and pointed, but lacks the tooth-like ridges common with other Macaw species. In fact, the genus name Anodorhynchus derives from the bill characteristics, literally meaning ‘no tooth nose.’

    Hyacinth Macaws typically grow to a length of 40 inches and around two and half pounds in weight. The word hyacinth refers to the birds color and is defined as ‘a deep purplish blue to vivid violet.’

    The life span is 50 years.
