Camelot Macaw

The Camelot Macaw has a lot of Scarlet Macaw in it from its parentage. The Scarlet Macaw, the best known South American parrot for over 100 years, is one of the most popular macaws frequently described as "beautiful and striking". The Camelot inherits all that beautiful coloring and more!

Hybrid macaws are bred for color. The Camelot Macaw is a second generation hybrid macaw. One of its parents, the Scarlet Macaw, is a species of naturally occurring macaws while the other, the Catalina Macaw, is also a hybrid macaw. This second generation hybrid macaw was developed from these crossings:

•1st - Scarlet Macaw crossed with a Blue and Gold Macaw = Catalina Macaw
•2nd - Scarlet Macaw crossed with a Catalina Macaw = Camelot Macaw
Because hybrid macaws are a mixture of more than one type of macaw, the offspring are influenced by the traits and characteristics of both of its parents. Father's have the dominant gene, so this will generally influence the offspring's coloration and overall appearance. However the behavior and temperament are more unpredictable.

The personality of a Scarlet is such that it requires good socialization and a firm consistent hand in training, especially as it matures. The Camelot can have these characteristics, but it can also have the gentle nature and the speaking ability of the Blue and Gold Macaw mixed in. It can be a very affectionate, inquisitive, and fun pet that is beautiful.
