Big Macaws – Some things you might not know

Macaws come in many colors and sizes. 43 species of macaws are listed on this page. So when someone calls Windy City Parrot and begins the conversation with “I have a macaw,” we always ask “what kind”?

For simplicity we split Macaws into two groups, large and small (oft-times referred to as mini-macaws). This category and conversation will focus on large size macaw parrots.
