Macaw Harlequin basic information

A cross between Green Winged Macaws and Blue and Gold Macaws, the Harlequin Macaw is a striking and sizeable bird! Harlequin Macaws grow to about 34 inches in length and are very brightly colored. Usually, Harlequins are sired by Green Winged Macaws, since female Green Winged Macaws are often more difficult to find than female Blue and Gold Macaws, the typical mother of the cross. Generally, Harlequin Macaws inherit the father Green Wing's physical build and the mother's coloration, making it look identical to another hybrid, the Catalina Macaw. Usually, the chest feathers of Harlequin Macaws are reddish-orange and are edged with a brighter yellow-orange color.
