Opaline Macaw (Hybrid ) macaws have held a place as one of the most popular large parrots for years. These brightly colored beauties have so much more to offer than just a pretty face—they are full of personality as well! They are indeed one of the more recognizable birds in the world and a popular pet for people who can handle a large parrot that demands attention.
Temperament:
Opaline macaws are extremely intelligent birds, with an abundance of energy and personality, but they need daily socialization and stimulation to tame them and keep them that way. They can get bored quite easily, so they should be provided with plenty of toys to play with. Handled Opaline macaws can be very affectionate, but potential owners should keep in mind that they, like all macaws, can be rather noisy at times.
Opaline macaws are idiosyncratic birds that can become fixated on one person if they are not trained when young to socialize with every family member. The impressively large beak is very powerful; this bird may not be a great fit for families with children.
Size:
Opaline macaws grow to an average adult size of 35 inches, from the tip of the beak to the end of the tail feathers. They typically weight between 2 and 3 pounds.
Average Lifespan
A captive Opaline macaw can live for 80 years or more, though 40 to 50 years is more typical.
