Most Expensive Parrot in the World

Most Expensive Parrot in the World

Pets, who doesn’t love them? Especially this particular one: the Hyacinth Macaw.

What is so special about the Hyacinth Macaw? The Hyacinth Macaw is the largest macaw and the largest flying parrot in the world, larger than any other kinds of parrot. They are very popular as pets and their population in the wild has taken a heavy blow.

Hyacinth Macaw is a native to central and eastern South America with a particular thing: their beak; is so strong for eating their natural foods: the kernel of hard nuts and seeds. Their strong beak can easily crack coconuts. They also eat fruits, pine nuts and other vegetables.

But what makes them be the most expensive parrot in the world? This is due their rare and magnificent they are, they are much more laid back, easy to train if you start from early age and they are quieter than most other parrots. That’s what makes them such expensive birds. The Hyacinth Macaw is known to be the “Rolls-Royce” of parrots because they are so rare and so expensive. The price tag for these birds is between $7,000 and $14,000.

They are so popular than the people made a movie after them and it’s called “Rio”, they gave him life with the help of the actor Jesse Eisenberg who was the voice of the Blue Macaw. Soon we will be seeing part two of the movie. Watch it and see how they made a parrot funny.

As you can see these parrots are not easily to own, they cost as much as a small car and their care can get you rid of some good hundreds per month. Where do you put the fact that they need a special cage, one that their powerful beak can’t break?
