Scarlet Macaw For Sale
The Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) is the ultimate大型 parrot companion—famous for its brilliant red, yellow, and blue plumage classified among the most recognizable birds in the world. At All Wings Aviary, our hand-fed babies are raised in our home facility, not a commercial warehouse, ensuring confident, people-oriented birds ready to become beloved family members for 50 to 75 years.
I have bred Scarlet Macaws for over 15 years, and our babies start handling at just two weeks old. They receive round-the-clock care until fully weaned at 14-16 weeks, eating a balanced diet of organic pellets, fresh produce, and hand-feeding formula. Each bird learns to step up, play independently, and interact with multiple family members daily—crucial for preventing single-person imprinting and ensuring emotional stability.
Imagine opening the cage to a bird that immediately flies to your shoulder, mimics your whistle, and displays those incredible emerald-green wing feathers against the scarlet body. Our Scarlets learn tricks and clear speech quickly, becoming the center of conversation at any gathering. They thrive in homes where they can join family dinners, watch television with you, and participate in daily activities rather than being relegated to a back room.
Every Scarlet Macaw from All Wings Aviary comes with a comprehensive health guarantee, complete veterinary records, and DNA certificate confirming gender. We ship USDA-compliant nationwide with live arrival guarantee to all 48 states, and we include free shipping on orders over $500. Call us to schedule a video call with our available babies before purchasing—we want you to meet your future companion personally.

Frequently Asked Questions About Scarlet Macaw For Sale
Is This Scarlet Macaw Safe For My Family?
Yes, our hand-fed Scarlet Macaws are raised with daily handling and socialization, making them safe, confident companions for families with children when properly supervised. However, all macaws possess powerful beaks capable of 800 PSI bite force that can cause serious injury if mishandled. We recommend teaching children gentle touch from day one and always supervising interactions. Our birds are selected for calm, stable temperaments suitable for family life.
What Size Cage Or Aviary Do I Need For A Scarlet Macaw?
Scarlet Macaws require a minimum cage size of 36 inches wide by 48 inches deep by 60 inches tall, though larger flight cages or dedicated bird rooms are strongly recommended. Bar spacing must be 1 inch or less to prevent escape or injury. If you cannot provide a large permanent cage, plan for 3-4 hours of supervised free-flight time daily in a safe, bird-proofed room to allow proper wing stretching and exercise.
How Long Do Scarlet Macaws Live As Companion Parrots?
Scarlet Macaws live 50 to 75 years when provided proper nutrition, annual veterinary care, and mental stimulation. This represents a multi-generational commitment—many owners include their macaw in their estate planning. At All Wings Aviary, we only place birds with families who demonstrate clear understanding and preparation for this lifetime responsibility, never as impulse purchases or surprise gifts.
Do You Ship Scarlet Macaws Safely Across The United States?
Yes, we ship via USDA-approved animal transport with temperature-controlled cabins, live-animal priority handling, and direct door-to-door delivery. Each bird travels in an airline-approved reinforced crate with familiar toys, food, and water. We require a veterinarian release form and guarantee live arrival, or we will either reship or provide a full refund. California ownership permits are available and we provide all necessary documentation.
What Is Included With Your Health Guarantee For Scarlet Macaws?
Every Scarlet Macaw comes with a 30-day health guarantee against confirmed infectious diseases, a current veterinary health certificate from our certified avian veterinarian, and DNA sexing proof with certificate. We guarantee the bird is accurately represented in age, gender, and health status. If any genetic health issue arises within the first year, we provide lifetime support and veterinary consultation at no charge to ensure your bird thrives.
