The Harlequin Macaw is a first generation hybrid macaw. It is a cross between a Blue and Gold Macaw
Ara ararauna and a Green-winged Macaw
Ara chloroptera. A full sized macaw, they can get over 2 lbs. Lengths up to 86 cm (34 inches). Harlequin Macaws are quite intelligent, trainable, and adept at learning tricks . They can learn to talk with a general vocabulary of about 15 or more words or expressions. The word 'harlequin' is defined as 'clown', and these playful birds can truly live up to that reputation.
