Hyacinth macaws are the largest parrots in the world, reaching a massive 100 cm in length (4). They have striking cobalt blue feathers, contrasting with the bare yellow eye ring and yellow patch of skin next to the lower bill (4). The tail is particularly long (2), and the powerful black bill is deeply curved and pointed (4). © Wildscreen. Source: ARKive.
