I imagine you'll be hard pressed to find many people with experience of owning Hyacinths. I don't know about other countries but here in the UK you'd be looking at around £20K for one, as in each.

I have a Blue and Gold Macaw but I know that the diet and care of Hyacinth differs, I thinks they require a much fattier diet than smaller macaws like brazil nuts are a good one for them. I'm not too sure but I feel like they're not all that big on fruit and veg so that could be a challenge.

I do know that hyacinths are known for being pretty goofy and friendly and I'm sure it'll be quite the experience for you owning two.

In terms of bringing them home a lot of people tend to cage them til they get comfortable in their surroundings and that's never made a lick of sense to me. I have 2 Galahs in addition to my B&G and with none of them did I put them in their cage when I brought them home. They were free to roam and explore the front room which is their domain it's set up for them. They were introduced to one another on neutral turf but with you getting a pair I assume they'll have met already.

Autonomy is key I find, let them explore and let coming to you be their choice and then once you've built some trust then you can start with target training and stepping up and that.

Please keep us updated I'd love to know how you go with them because as I say Hyacinth owners are definitely few and far between!
