Hahns Macaw, they are the smallest of the macaws but make up for it with their huge personality and be quite good talkers. In apperance they are deep forest green in colour with dark teal on the top of thier heads above their beaks and red at the bends of their wings on adult parrots. They are around twelve inches in size including their tails and they weigh around 165 grams. They are considered the easiest of all the macaws to look after and they are really good to have as a pet, they can easily become very tame and easy to manage. Hahns Macaws love to play so make sure you buy them lots of toys to keep them amused and occupied. They do need their excercise so buying some climbing toys that fit onto the outside of your parrots cage is also a good idea, but please remember to make sure that all your doors and windoors are closed before doing so.The lifespan of these species is around 30 years. All parrots have charateristic features which are a strong curved bill an upright stance, strong legs and clawed feet. All parrots love to eat seeds, nuts and fruitbuds and love small pieces of fruit and vegetables for treats, the most popular being, apples, grapes and carrots, please be aware that there are certain foods that you must never feed your parrot these include chocolate, lettuce, avocado and sweets as these can be very harmful to your parrot. Fresh water should be replaced daily, parrots love to prune themselves and have a preening ritual,and they like to bathe, a shallow dish or a bird bath is suitable. Here at Appleton Exotics we have a wide range of cages varying in size, some with open tops so perches and toys can be fitted with ease, all our cages have been oven baked, powder coated and finished with non toxic paints. Always remember that a parrot should be able to stretch and open its wings without them touching the sides. Please telephone Appleton Exotics 0n 01942 824385 for any further information.
