The Hyacinth macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus) is the largest parrot species in the world, native to central and eastern South America, particularly in Brazil, Paraguay, and Bolivia. It is renowned for its vibrant cobalt-blue plumage and bright yellow facial skin around the eyes and at the base of its beak. These macaws inhabit semi-open areas such as savannas, woodlands, and palm swamps. Known for their strong beaks, they primarily feed on nuts, seeds, and fruits, especially those of palm trees. Hyacinth macaws are highly social, often seen in pairs or small groups. Despite their striking appearance and popularity in the pet trade, they are classified as vulnerable due to habitat loss, illegal trapping, and other human activities. Conservation programs are essential to ensure their survival in the wild.
