Basic Info

The Noble Macaw grows to about 13 inches in length, with a seven to seven and a half inch wingspan. They have brilliant green plumage with blue foreheads and forecrowns. The underparts of the bird have a yellow hue, especially the flight feathers and the underside of the tail, which are olive yellow. The undersides of the wings, the wing bend, and the carpal edge are all an incredible red color. The Noble Macaw has the characteristic Macaw naked facial patch, with a dark orange colored iris. The legs are dark gray as is the lower mandible. The Noble Macaw has a horn-colored upper mandible that distinguishes it most particularly from Hahn's Macaw.

Health

To prevent your Noble Macaw from becoming ill, be sure his water is bacteria free by adding a water cleaner like Saniclens to the fresh water which you have available to him at all times.

Habitat

Usually found in the areas south of the Amazon in the Brazilian states of Maranhão, Para, Bahia and Piau

Behavior

The Noble Macaw is a very small version of Macaw that is a subspecies of Hahn's Macaw and shares the same great personality and incredible coloration! Like Hahn's Macaw, the Noble Macaw or Noble Mini-Macaw is a playful and boisterous pet! Noble Macaws seem to be especially talented at mimicking speech and are easily trainable. Since they are so small, they will do well in a two foot by two foot by two foot enclosure which is equipped with plenty of toys and chew toys to sate their inquisitive natures! Females should have calcium dusted on their food five times a week, but males need calcium powder only once or twice per week. Always use a multi-vitamin supplement in your Noble Macaw's food. Noble Macaws crave attention and may be noisy, but if you do not mind the racket, these lovely birds provide hours of entertainment through their crazy antics!
