SCARLET MACAW
$1,000.00 – $2,400.00
This bird is one of the largest macaw species, with red, yellow and blue feathers. It is a very smart and intelligent parrot. This macaw is known for it amazing shiny colours and has proven to be one of the best pet bird to live with. They are very docile in captivity and this makes them excellent companions to pet parents.
Scarlet macaw is one of the largest parrot species in the parrot clan. These birds are red, yellow, blue in colour and lives in Central and South America. They are a member of a large group of parrots called macaws. This bird is native to humid evergreen forests of tropical Central and South America. Its population extends from south-eastern Mexico to the Peruvian Amazon, Ecuador, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia and Bolivia. Like other macaws, scarlet macaws are popular parrots in aviculture because of its striking plumage, and it is a national bird of the Honduras. This parrot is about 81cm long with it tail being more than half of it. This is typical with all macaws because their tails are extremely long and twice the size of many other parrot species. The bird weighs 2kg on average, the plumage is scarlet while the tail-covert feathers are light blue. The upper wing coverts are yellow and the upper sides of the flight feathers are blue.
This parrot can be confused with the slightly larger green wing macaw that has more distinct in the face and yellow on the wings. This bird has a bare white skin around the eyes and tiny white feathers on the face patch. The young ones have dark eyes and adults have light yellow eyes. These birds make loud, high throaty squawks, squeaks to call their groups. This parrot can live for 70-90 years and even more. Scarlet macaw communicate through raucous honks. Vocal communication is an important aspect to them that is why captive macaws can mimic human speech. They love to eat insects, bugs, flowers, nectar, larvae and snails. Bugs and snails are a great source of protein to them during breeding seasons. Scarlet macaws are monogamous.

Highly recommend Hansen Parrots for anything that has to do with parrots! It’s very hard to find a reliable parrot breeder so I was so happy when I discovered Hansen Parrots a few years ago!
Merle K –
These guys are super amazing! Our feathered friend is very sweet and easy to handle, he is the sweetest thing that has ever happened to us. We are grateful for having him and we thank Hansen Parrots for everything. We highly recommend this store to everyone.

Their prices are VERY reasonable for the work they do. Parrot breeding requires a lot of skill and finesse, so what they do at Hansen Parrots is worth every penny. Don’t settle for a place that focuses on dogs and regards birds as an afterthought. If you are on the fence about using them for your feathered friend I encourage you to give them a try!

We are very satisfied with their service!

Excellent service, really like the way they use text messaging for scheduling and Walmart gift cards for payment. Parrot emerged happy and smelling good!
Kadir M –
This place is great! I usually come here to buy my bird supplies and ask the staff questions about my bird. The staff is very patient and friendly. They took their time explaining to me what kind of food to feed my baby scarlet macaw.

I have had a hard time finding a good parrot breeder in the town, either is overpriced or they only service dogs and cats. Hansen Parrots totally saved my day. The owner is very communicative, he took really good care of my baby scarlets, and has done an amazing job! My feathered babies seems alright after the checkup, will definitely return for a future checkup!

Hansen Parrots is a great small independent pet store, they are a pet store with a heart. They don’t think people should be able to buy a bird just by walking into a random shop, they believe in matching the right people. People with true hobbies and passion for pet birds. They make sure that all the customers get the information they needed and all the staffs are just so passionate and welcoming. I felt so comfortable being in there.
Madeline A –
I have actually found out that this store is cheaper than lame chain pet stores. They also seem to really care about their pets and give great service. There isn’t much more I could ask for. I recommend this place.

I bought 2 baby Scarlet Macaw parrots from this breeder. They are very knowledgeable about birds. The babies are excellent birdies and very intelligent creatures.
Rashid B –
Hansen Parrots is the best place to get your future bird from! Melanie has helped me a lot in the past with Scarlet Macaws, and she is now in the process of helping me with my newest and bigger bird purchase. She has been so patient with me and my many questions.
Mahmud W –
It took a little longer to get them home but it was a great experience to order the baby Scarlet Macaws from Hansen parrots. They assisted us from start to finish, answered all our questions and responded to our live chat messages. I think we got the best pair among the babies. Very good but i think the only drawback is that they poop a lot. We recommend this breeder

Went a couple months ago before current events, and (my baby scarlet) had a great time!
Set up an appointment online, but I had some last minute emergencies that came up and had to cancel. They were super understanding and cancellation was smooth. I called back the next day to schedule an appointment for later that week.
Showed up maybe 20 minutes before the scheduled time to drop my scarlet off. I was promptly greeted, and filled out some basic information about my bird, signed some forms, and met with the owner. I was then given a time estimate to come back (2-3 hours I believe). After a couple hours at the coffee shop nearby, i got a call and picked up my bird.
My baby scarlet seemed pretty calm and wasn’t skittish like she sometimes is when I take her to the vet. She looked great, and smelled pretty clean! All in all a good experience, especially with the flexibility of the place. Looking forward to my next appointment!

Best price for birds anywhere in VA, and I do my research very thoroughly. I was definitely pleasantly surprised by this and they are right in the middle of the city!
Sera C –
I know I am not the easiest customer, but its only because I really want to be confident in my decision. He understands what I can and cannot handle in my household as far as pets go. The macaw birds at his shop are so sweet and healthy! Thank you
Florence N –
I had a great experience with our new family bird he is a vibrant and healthy scarlet macaw. The service is good and Hansen seems to have a good knowledge of exotic birds. Great place!!!
Jack H –
My 9 year old daughter has had this baby scarlet macaw in the house for a few hours and hasn’t stopped playing with it yet! She absolutely loves the baby! We are looking to when the baby will start talking because they can be talkative if trained well. It’s about the same as a hyacinth baby, recommend for a smaller family.
Sabrina K –
Great experience. Not sure of her name but the lady was very nice. Love the store and the whole staff. Strongly suggest checking it out.
Robyn D –
We were disappointed with their service. We purchased a baby scarlet macaw from Hansen Parrots and it died few months later. That was an expensive lost for us.
Ben C –
My friend recommended this place for parrot checkup and now I highly recommend it! They are simply the best pet store in the states.
Karen H –
Best parrot shop in town! my Jimmy Choo, a scarlet macaw even returns to Hansen Parrots when I go out of town. Amazing breeder
Kahn T –
It was a very positive experience. Not only is it outrageously cheap, but they are also bird experts. The birds are well taken care of and all their birds are hand-raised, hand-fed and weaned. It’s pretty much like parrot camp. My birds are happy, healthy and calm. Yay! Great place.
Vincent F –
I have been a Hansen Parrots customer since they began about 30 years ago. Keep up the good work. Healthy products and conscientious people make the difference at Hansen Parrots.
Shane T –
Such a wonderful site. Melanie is very helpful and obviously cares for her customers and birds. I bought a sweet baby scarlet from her recently. He is a beautiful bird, and I received a certificate of his blood work and testing. Great experience.
Kan S –
This is my go to spot for my bird’s treats. My baby scarlet is a bit of a prima donna, but Hansen and Melanie are able to patiently work with him and get him cleaned up after just a few hours. I have to drive a bit further to get here, but the quality and service is worth it for me. Thanks guys!
Sherry L –
Hansen was amazing, so knowledgable and helpful. He is actually raising and holding our new baby scarlet macaw for us until it’s ready ! That’s service! Can’t wait to get our baby scarlet home.
Wilfred Manur –
Very nice, colourful bird just what i wanted, though it did take a bit of time to arrive (not due to the breeder) very happy with purchase, I recommend this breeder
Brandon A –
Thank you for the baby Scarlet Macaws. Love what you guys do…
Lisa C –
Excellent. Great service and super nice people here. I used to bring my scarlet parrots to them over 10 years ago but lost track of them. I’m thrilled to have found them again. Amazing service!
Bailly G –
My most recent visits have been the best yet. Hansen and the rest of the staff get it right. I wish I took care of myself as well as Hansen and his staff take care of my little feathered friend. This place is extremely beautiful with amazing bird experts. Thank you!
Hilary Caesar –
The bird arrived on time, and was well fed, tamed and trained. I will recommend the site
Clarion J –
The Scarlet Macaw is a great bird for my family to play with,I would highly recommend this any family household
Mendes G –
Wonderful experience with Robert at Hansen Parrots. We got our Scarlet Macaw ”mori” from his site last June, and we’re very impressed. Robert dedicated his time and expertise, educating my fiancé and i about the process of living with a parrot, teaching us how to best care for her and help her adapt to our home. She isn’t our first bird, and we could tell Robert cares for his birds well. He properly weans them and raises them on pellets and vegetables (not just seeds) so they’re accustomed to a healthier diet that can help them thrive as they age. Plus he is super clear about the responsibility of owning a baby bird that could live for 40+ years, which is vital. Definitely recommend this place.

Budgies are keeping us amused with their new toys, they think it’s the bridge over the river kwai with their acrobatics. well worth the money if you want to keep your birds amused.
Steven N –
Really happy that I found this place since it is so close to where I live! The people there are very friendly and they have a great selection of food and treats. They even gave Legend a Halloween themed scarf after he was all cleaned up. That was a nice touch.
Jetten T –
This is an excellent pet site. I highly recommend you go here for your next or first feathered friend. Do not buy from anywhere else, because their pets aren’t handled and the people working there are nowhere nearly as knowledgeable as Hansen Parrots. We are very pleased with our baby Scarlet Macaw.
Uriel Melene –
My family has received the baby. Thank you Hansen parrots for our macaw bird
Kvitova V –
Got him for my kids as they play with him all the time and can play all day without getting tired, so they keep themselves occupied for ages. They sometimes go to bed with him and this stop them getting bored. The Scarlet Macaw is a great companion to my family and we are very pleased with the purchase.
Muller D –
We were thinking of getting a macaw for a very long time. I am a bird lover, we have been searching all over the net for a local breeder who is hands-on with these birds because I was not sure if the birds from Hansen Parrots will be affectionate with humans. We have had no luck finding a breeder that I could totally trust… until now!This place was recommended to me by a colleague at work and to my surprise it is the PERFECT place to get a bird from.I am so impressed with their approach on raising the birds. Hansen Parrot is the best.
Patrick Cuban –
Like!! Great site! Really Cool! Thank you!
Mendes H –
I’ve been taking my scarlet macaw here for nail trims for the past few months. In general, they do a good job with a small bird who is very unhappy about getting his nails done. These guys are experts. Thank you!!!
Belinda T –
Just wow!!! This place is amazing and worth every penny and worth any travel time you may have to get there. We are very happy customers!!
Kim L –
Our longtime breeder left the place we took our birds to across town. We heard about Hansen Parrots from a friend. It is much closer to where we live. Smokey had his first nail cut there today, and everything was great! The cut is beautiful and the staff was friendly. We’ll be regular customers from now on.
David B –
It was our first time visiting Hansen Parrots and we did so based upon all the reviews. I’ve already booked our next appointment with Hansen. Everyone at Hansen Parrots was friendly and helpful. Great experience. Thank you, Hansen and Hansen Parrots!
Anne S –
They did a nice job, I wish i have many birds to bring here everyday. The people that own and work here are very nice and very professional. Communication was really good. Good Job Hansen Parrots!!!!
Carine H –
We had a little scheduling hiccup at first, but Melanie accommodated for us, and we couldn’t have been more thankful! The shop is really welcoming and cute. Lots of really neat pet care products, toys, treats and food. My favorite part of all, was that my little feathered friend was playing with other birds in the store when I got there. That was the golden touch for me. He looked so happy when I got there to pick him up. Thank you so much Hansen Parrots, we will DEFINITELY be back for our next visit soon!
