Red-shouldered Macaw
Macaws are never small in size, and even as the smallest macaw, the Red-shouldered Macaw exceeds 30 cm in body length. Because it can talk, the Red-shouldered Macaw has found its way into many homes.

Blue-winged Pitta
The Blue-winged Pitta (Pitta brachyura) gets its name from the eight vivid colors on its body—red, green, blue, white, black, yellow, brown, and chestnut—making it a highly ornamental bird.
Chestnut-Fronted Macaw

Blue-headed Macaw
The Blue-headed Macaw is the most expensive of the small parrots, mainly because of its scarcity, low popularity, and obscurity—truly a case of rarity commanding a premium. In captivity it is easily tamed and quite robust, adapts well, and like other macaws loves to chew and is destructive, so regular bathing keeps its plumage healthy. It suits a fairly roomy, flight-capable aviary.
Blue-throated Macaw
The Blue-throated Macaw is a native of the tropical Americas and is very similar to the Blue-and-yellow Macaw, sharing the same curious, playful, and friendly personality. With strikingly beautiful plumage and a very long tail, it is a large climbing parrot with a correspondingly large appetite.
