Head slightly tilted, checking out his surroundings, a brilliant colored Hyacinth Macaw sits upon a roost in the Tropical Forest at the Biodome de Montreal in Quebec, Canada allowing us to take his picture. This bird is the largest species in the Macaw family and it is the largest flying parrot across the world with its own unique colorings, markings and size.
An adult Hyacinth Macaw can weigh up to 1.7 kilograms, be a total of 100 centimeters in length and sport a wing span of up to 150 centimeters.
