Hello Josee, Hyacinth macaw is the most biggest out of the
macaw family, there nick name is gentle giant although they
are gentle at times they like to play rough they have over
200 pounds of presser which is equivalent to braking a
broom stick in half in that big beck of there’s so it would
be very easy to take a finger off or a ear so if your
hyacinth is around kids , its best not to have kids play
with the parrot until you fully know the parrot, the
hyacinth’s diet is based on a very fatty diet such as
almonds coconuts palm nuts walnuts they metabolize there fat
very easily, congats on owning one! I have always wanted one
but could never afford one,
