Basic Info

Many people are against breeding hybrid Macaws. While hybrids like the Capri Macaw are extremely colorful and may fetch higher prices than fullblood Macaws, they also may look very much like fullblood Macaws and may be accidentally bred under false impressions. The offspring will not be pure and will have different temperaments than those that would have resulted from a pure fullblood cross. Also, because it is illegal to own wild-caught Macaws, captive Macaw bloodlines must be kept pure or no more pure Macaws will exist in captivity. Last, the problem with hybrid Macaws such as the Capri is that purebred Macaws are becoming extinct in the wild. In the future, captive bloodlines and breeding programs may become important in preserving the species. If the bloodlines are diluted by accidental or intentional crossing with hybrids, certain species of Macaws could disappear forever.

Health

Capri Macaws enjoy bathing and should always have fresh water. They should be fed a variety of fruits and vegetables, greens, grains, nuts, seeds, and a mineral supplement along with peanut butter or other fatty, high-protein treats. They may be hand-reared on biscuit, porridge, and white bread. Capri Macaws will be noisy like most Macaws, requiring lots of attention and playtime! Breeding Since there is so much controversy as to whether or not hybrid macaws should be bred in captivity, it would be best to really think about the outcome of losing the pure breeds. If nothing else, at least do some research and try to make an educated decision.

Habitat

N/A

Behavior

The Capri Macaw, an exquisitely beautiful bird, is a hybrid Macaw produced from another hybrid Macaw that has raised much controversy among breeders! Little is known about the temperament of the Capri Macaw because hybrid Macaws tend to have rather unpredictable or inconsistent temperaments. While purebred Macaws are bred for certain traits, hybrids usually are not bred for personality but color, which means their characters may be uncertain. Like all Macaws the Capri Macaw needs a large outdoor aviary of 24 by nine by six feet with an enclosed shelter, constructed of strong wire or chain link. These birds are avid chewers and need plenty of wood, as bored Capri Macaws will be destructive, chewing on their cage or anything else they can find! Inquisitive by nature, Capri Macaws relate to the world by chewing on things, "feeling" them with their mouths! This means gentle biting characterizes their behavior, but sharp bites may be inflicted when the Macaw is extremely upset or frightened. Capri Macaws enjoy bathing and should always have fresh water.They may be hand-reared on biscuit, porridge, and white bread. Capri Macaws will be noisy like most Macaws, requiring lots of attention and playtime!
