Hybrid Rubalina Macaw

Rubalina Macaws are very colorful, carrying the blues, greens and gold's of the Blue and Gold and the Greenwing, along with the red colors from the Scarlet gene of their parents, especially on their underside. They are a full size Macaw and are highly intelligent. Having a lot of Scarlet Macaw parentage, they may also have a bit of an wild side. Hybrids are usually bred for color rather than personality, so their characteristics can be uncertain. A Rubalina Macaw needs good socialization and a firm consistent hand in training, especially it matures.


The parentage of the Rubalina Macaw is an interesting mix for a pet bird. This is a hybrid parrot that is very attractive with the intelligence of it parents. However their behavior is not absolutely certain. It should be quite trainable, learn to talk and do tricks. As with all macaws, the Rubalina Macaw will require good socialization and a firm consistent hand in training, especially as it matures. Two other species also add their flavor. The Green-winged Macaw, a long time favorite pet bird, lends both its color and its good personality . The Blue and Gold Macaw has been one of the most popular pet birds in the trade, known not only for its color but for its sweet nature and speaking ability. The Rubalina inherits all these birds coloring and more. Because hybrid macaws 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 color and overall appearance. Each Rubalina however, is a blend of colors inherited from its parentage. This hybrid macaw was developed from these crossings:
1st - Scarlet Macaw + Green-winged Macaw = Ruby Macaw
1st - Scarlet Macaw + Blue and Gold Macaw = Catalina Macaw
2nd - Ruby Macaw + Catalina Macaw = Rubalina Macaw
