Catalina Macaw (Rainbow Macaw): Bird Species

These Catalina macaw is a rainbow-colored hybrid parrot that is desired  for the traits it shares with its parents—two of the most popular macaw species. Its flashy colors make it highly attractive for prospective parrot owners. However, it is often its comical personality, intelligence, and the ability to respond to training that seals the deal.

Species Overview

Catalina Macaw Parrot Colors and Markings

 Generally, hybrid macaws are bred primarily for their color traits. The Catalina macaw has a wide range of colors and patterns. There are slight differences from one generation to the next as well.

Most of these birds are primarily red or deep orange on their chests and bellies. Some have brilliant red-orange heads while others have a gorgeous blue-green crown. They tend to have green and blue feathers running down their backs and long tails. Many of them have gold feathers edging their wings and their tails.

Catalina looks similar to the harlequin macaw. The two hybrids are often mistaken for one another. The most significant difference is the Catalina usually has the long, tapering tail of the scarlet.

There is no noticeable difference between male and female Catalina macaws. To tell them apart, you will need a DNA test, chromosomal test, or surgical sexing procedure. The DNA test is the most noninvasive option.

Caring for the Catalina Macaw Parrot

Being social birds, they must spend adequate time bonding with their owners to become happy, well-adjusted pets. If you are looking to adopt a Catalina macaw, make sure that you have at least 2 to 4 hours to spend with your bird every day. These parrots thrive on interaction and will become depressed and destructive if neglected or ignored.

With all large parrots, these birds need a large cage that is no less than 4 feet wide and long by 5 feet high. The more space you can provide, the better off your bird will be. Give the bird plenty of perches and toys to keep it engaged.

Potential owners should think seriously about macaw ownership. Are you willing to be awakened early every morning by a screaming parrot? Can you accommodate the several hours of socialization and exercise every day? Also, consider the costs of owning a pet macaw. Veterinary bills, high-quality feed, toys, and cages all add up. If you can’t provide your bird with the best of everything, think about waiting to adopt one until you can. The more that you spoil a parrot, the better your pet ownership experience will be.

Common Health Problems For The Catalina Macaw Parrot

The health care concerns for Catalina macaws are the same as other macaw species. Some of the more common illnesses seen in macaws include:

• Proventricular dilation disease (an intestinal problem, also called wasting disease)
• Psittacosis (a bacterial infection, also called chlamydiosis or parrot fever)
• Other bacterial, viral, or fungal diseases
• Allergies
• Beak malformations in chicks

Birds that are bored, have a poor diet, want a mating partner, or need a bath might resort to feather picking or plucking. Remedy this self-mutilating behavior by addressing their needs immediately.

Diet and Nutrition For The Catalina Macaw Parrot

 macaws eat a variety of seeds, plants, fruits, and nuts. Like any large parrot, feed a Catalina macaw a diet that includes a high-quality seed and pellet mix, along with fresh bird-safe fruits and vegetables. Each macaw, depending on its size, will eat about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of parrot mix and about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of fruit and vegetables every day. You can feed it once in the morning upon waking and at dusk before it goes to sleep.

Fruits that are good to feed to macaws include apples, pears, plums, cherries, grapes, oranges, bananas, mangos, papayas, and berries. Healthy vegetables include carrots, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, and leafy greens. Never feed avocado; it is toxic to birds. As a treat, offer nuts like macadamias, walnuts, pecans, almonds, and filberts. (We have the special  Catalina Macaw Parrots For Sale as listed).
