This beautiful and gentle species is the second largest of the macaw species and is much in demand for a pet. It does not breed as prolifically in captivity as some of the other macaw species and thus commands a higher price. This species should be given raw nuts in the shell as part of its diet as large macaws need a higher fat content in their diets than do many other psittacine species.
