Information about Hyssent’s parrot.

It is also known as the hyacinth parrot, because of its bright blue color that covers most of its body… It also gained the name of the hyacinth parrot because of its high price. Indeed, it is a living ruby.

It lives in southern Brazil and western Bolivia in the southern Latin forests, but it has become very rare in the wild now due to intensive hunting. It currently lives only in reserves under strict surveillance.

Breeding the hyacinth macaw.

It is best to avoid raising a wild parrot, even if it is currently difficult to obtain one due to the strict control over it in South American countries.

If you buy a Hyacinth parrot, training it is not difficult, as it is one of the smartest parrots in the world. If you have experience with macaws, you will not find any difficulty at all.

But if you intend to raise it for production, it is a little difficult, and this is the reason for its high price because it is not easy to produce. But in general, in order to produce it, you need a large room of about 3 square meters or more, and two meters high, and to place some trees and branches in it, to make it look as natural as possible.

It is necessary to also place the nest for them in a high place off the ground, about a meter and a half, and for it to be wooden and of a large size.

Training a Hyacinth parrot.

You can train it by feeding it, and continuing to repeat the words you want it to learn, because the hyacinth macaw is considered a good speaking parrot.

But only if he feels fear or hesitation, try to train him in a quiet place where there are not many people around.

You should also be careful of its bite because it is one of the strongest jaws among parrots, and it may cause great harm if the bite is forceful.

The ruby blue parrot can distinguish its owner from many people, so you can train it to fly and return to your hand smoothly… but be careful not to do this in a crowded place such as the city center and a place with many cars, as it may run away due to fear of the environment surrounding it.

Mating and reproduction of the Hyacinth parrot.

The difference between a male and a female is not easy, so like all types of macaws, the best way to determine the sex is through the veterinarian. After determining the sex, he will give you a certificate indicating the sex of this parrot.

Hyacinth parrots become ready for production at the age of 5 years. This is the best age for good production for all types of macaws.

The hyacinth parakeet usually mates from the beginning of spring in 4 months until the end of summer in 9 to 10 months.

During mating, the female lays from one to four eggs, and the incubation period lasts approximately 27 days. After that, the parents begin to take care of the chicks, and they emerge from laying eggs after approximately 10 weeks.

Hyacinth macaw price.

The ruby blue parrot is the most expensive parrot in the world, because it was threatened with extinction in the wild, and now it is forbidden to leave its original habitat.

It is also difficult to produce, as it has mood swings. For these reasons, its price may reach $35,000 for a young Zaghloul at the age of 4 months.

There are some sites for buying and selling foreign and even Arabic ones, and we find prices reaching up to 40 thousand dollars if they are in good condition, pet and trained. Because of these crazy prices, it is now the most expensive parrot in the world.
