Hybrid Capri Macaw

The Capri Macaw is one of the most colorful Macaws that still exist today. Its wide variety of colors happens from having a 3rd generation hybrid between a Camelot & a Scarlet macaw. The process of becoming a 3rd generation hybrid macaw is that a breeder breeds 2 basic macaws such as a Scarlet and Blue and Gold Macaw. Which then produces a Catalina Macaw. Next the breeder breeds a Catilina and again a Scarlet Macaw to produce a Camelot macaw. The final step to this complex process is to breed the Camelot Macaw with a Scarlet Macaw 1 final time to get a Capri Macaw. As you can see this process is very complex and expensive to do. The time and money spent into making this bird can be very worth it. These birds are a full size Macaw and are highly intelligent and smart. From the Blue and Gold Macaw parents, they may learn to talk with a general vocabulary of about 15 or more words or expressions.
If not properly trained these birds can take a turn for the worse, they can become rowdy and can be cranky at times and may even be a one person bird or only like men or women unless well socialized with lots of people. Like i said befor the Capri Macaw is quite rare and fairly expensive. So getting this bird and at a low price is almost impossible. But there are more and more breeders who are starting to breed it, finding these macaws for sale may become easier as they may become more available
