Hybrid Buffwing Macaw

This is a captive bred hybrid macaw. Hybrid macaws are rarely found in the wild. Buffwing Macaws are a very vibrantly colored hybrid.  Both parents of the Buffwing Macaw contribute to the vivid colors of their offspring, though the father's have the dominant gene and this will influence their final appearance. A full sized macaw, they can get over 2 lbs. Lengths up to 86 cm. A roomy cage is required unless the bird is to be let out for extended periods. Many birds can spend most of their time on a play pen or parrot perch. They eat a variety of seeds, nuts, fruits, and commercial pellets, as well as the same nutritional foods humans eat.
    It is generally believed that hybrid macaws get the best attributes of the parents. In this case, the natural friendly side of the Green-winged Macaw makes a good family type bird, while the Buffon's Macaw is extremely good natured and gentle. They are nice birds that will get along with more than one person. But they are a typical macaw and can be cranky at times. To have a well rounded bird that enjoys more than one person, make sure it is well socialized with lots of people and other macaws. inding these macaws for sale is generally hard as they are rare, and they are expensive. There are more and more macaw breeders being established so finding one for sale is becoming easier and easier. The reason the hybrid is rare is because hbrid macaws are bred for color. Because they are a mixture of more than one type of macaw, the offspring are influenced by the traits and characteristics of both of its parents. Father's have the dominant gene, so this will generally influence the offspring's coloration and overall appearance which can appear to have a color combination never seen befor on a macaw.
