Small Macaw

Everything suited to the smaller Macaws, the Hahns, Yellow Collared and Severe. Big bird brains in a more manageable body, and they still want plenty to do.

Seed blends and pellets sized right, nuts in the shell to crack, hardwood and java chews that last, and foragers they have to work out. Give them toys they can genuinely destroy, because they will find a way regardless.

Frequently Asked Small Macaw Questions

What's the difference between a small macaw and a full-size macaw?

Species like Hahn's and Yellow-collared macaws are roughly half the size of a Blue and Gold or Scarlet Macaw, but they carry a big macaw personality, and a genuinely powerful beak, in a smaller body.

Are small macaws as loud as large macaws?

Still loud for their size, and capable of a proper macaw screech, though generally less piercing than a full-size macaw. Worth going in with realistic expectations either way.

What should I feed a small macaw?

A balanced diet of mainly pellets with fresh vegetables and some fruit and nuts.

Feather Chef Small Macaw Blend ($15.99–$89.99) or Feather Chef Small Macaw Treat ($19.99–$44.99) for training rewards.

Do small macaws talk?

Many do, and some owners find Hahn's and Yellow-collared macaws clearer and more frequent talkers than their larger cousins.

How much chewing and enrichment does a small macaw need?

Plenty. That powerful beak needs a daily outlet or it will find one on cage bars or furniture instead.

Bagel Rings ($17.99) and Sola Chew Balls ($6.99–$10.99) are both built to take it.
