Hello,
We have been debating for several months now whether or not to sell our pair of Hyacinths. We did list them previously, but were not satisfied with the individuals that inquired about them.We bought them several years ago, with the help of a broker - shipped from Florida. When we first purchased them, we decided to spend the money and purchased a Cages by Design cage, which did not withstand the destructive nature of these macaws. Originally, they were purchased as a breeding pair, but with their social personalities, later became pets. They never produced a fertile egg, although the hen does lay eggs. However, I will not sell them to anyone who will plan to breed them at any point in time, or attempt to separate them in any way. Farley and Maxine are both friendly birds, but are for the experienced macaw handler, due to the fact that they have diet restrictions as well as personality differences from handfed pets vs. breeding pairs. As we will be relocating again, I find that purchasing yet another cage, and creating a more permanent set up at our new location will be extremely stressful and time consuming. We have many other animals to take care of, and the Hyacinths deserve to have someone devote at least 70% of their time to them - in which case I am unable to do. Farley loves women, and is partial to men. Maxine still needs to build trust, and she is not capable of being handled at the moment - she will sit on your lap, eat from your hand, but you cannot otherwise touch her. Farley will only allow me to touch him, and pet him.. he is a very loving bird who, if given the chance, would spend 100% of HIS time with you. If you just walk by his cage, he will scream until you will come and visit again.
I have tons of photos, some taken when the macaws were at a different place with the cages by design cage, and some of them were taken more recently, as we moved twice since. Can provide many photos. Please call or e-mail for info and more photos. There isn't a market for these types of exotics anymore, no effective place to list them. Will deliver.
If interested you can contact us at 518-570-2601 or send an email.
Thank you !
