Blue and Yellow Macaw

The breeding and rearing of the Blue and Yellow Macaw is a fascinating process that requires knowledge and dedication to ensure the success and welfare of these birds. Although they do not have a defined breeding season, they can breed throughout the year, with particular intensity in late spring. During courtship, they choose their sexual partner and, once the pair is formed, the transfer of sperm from the male to the female takes place. It is important to follow good management practices and provide them with a suitable environment for successful breeding.

You will observe how they interact with each other with energy and joy, communicating through loud vocalisations and flashy movements. They are known for their intelligence and ability to learn, making them a species that always captivates our visitors.
