5 FAQs
What is the best food for a Hyacinth Macaw?
A balanced diet includes high-fat organic pellets (e.g., Harrison's High Potency Coarse), raw or soaked seeds, nuts like macadamias and Brazil nuts, and fruit-based enrichment foods such as NutriBerries.
Can I feed my macaw only seeds?
No. Seeds alone lack essential nutrients. Hyacinths thrive on a balanced diet that includes pellets, nuts, sprouted grains, and fresh fruits for optimal health.
What types of treats are safe to mix with their main food?
Use Lafeber NutriBerries, dried tropical fruit, or low-sugar seed sticks as occasional treats. Always ensure they are free from preservatives and artificial colours.
Are soaking and sprouting mixes important?
Yes! Soaked pulses and sprouted seeds are rich in enzymes and vitamins and help promote gut health, particularly beneficial for large parrots like Hyacinths.
Can other large macaws eat the same food?
Absolutely. These foods are also ideal for Blue & Gold Macaws, Green-Winged Macaws, and other large parrots with similar dietary requirements.
