Hybrid Starlight Macaw

Starlight Macaws are a very brightly colored macaw hybrid.  Both parents add to the colors of their offspring, though the father's have the dominant gene and this will influence their final appearance. The Starlight Macaws have a Scarlet Macaw father and a Miligold mother, they are strongly influenced by the colors of the Scarlet. One of the Starlight's parents, the Miligold Macaw, brings greens and blues to the offspring, an influence of both its Blue and Gold and Military Macaw parents. The bright reds on the forehead are also from the the Military, but can be even more colorful by the addition of the other parent, the Scarlet Macaw. The Scarlet Macaw brings out a lot of reds, especially to the belly. You can also see its influence in the colors of the beak, being a whitish color rather than the black seen in the parent's of the Miligold. The Starlight Macaw gets a combination of colors from its parentage, making it one of the most impressive hybrid macaws. Starlight Macaws's are a full size macaw. It is very smart and trainable. It can learn to talk with a general vocabulary of about 15 or more words and expressions. The behavior and attitude of hybrid macaws are more uncertain than the coloration. Starlight Macaws are a hybrid parrot that are very colorful with the intelligence of its parents. The Starlight should be trainable, learning to talk and do tricks. This macaw can be a very affectionate and a fun companion, but may also have inherited being wild and agressive. As with all macaws, the Starlight Macaw will turn out the way you want depending on its training.
